Özet
Renowned for their diverse attributes, including harnessing solar energy, cost-effectiveness, and minimal labor requirements, solar air heaters (SAHs) play a significant role in various applications. These systems operate by utilizing the sun to heat ambient air through continuous interaction with the air inside, causing the solar source to undergo a wavelength change upon striking the glass surface. Commonly employed in settings such as buildings and the food industry, these heaters often optimize heat absorption by coating the absorber plate with a black color. This book chapter delves into the discussion of SAH types, followed by an in-depth examination of performance analyses gleaned from existing literature in the performance analysis section. Furthermore, the chapter concludes with the incorporation of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) studies on the subject. A noteworthy observation is the increasing prevalence of CFD studies, offering significant time savings prior to the experimental phase in research endeavors.
