Abstract
Based on the previous research of the plate-type solar collector by the author, the analysis of the relationship between the spectral radiative property of the absorbing and transparent plates and their collector efficiency is firstly discussed on a simplified solar collector model. This analytical technique is then applied to evaluate the performance of water solar collector in practical use and the performance of five sorts of the commercial solar collectors are compared each other on both the collection efficiency and equilibrium temperature. Consequently, it is made clear that those solar collectors in Japan are of excellent quality of high collection efficiency. Secondly, the performance of a unit-type air solar collector with carbon fiber sheet (CF-sheet) as the absorbing material, which was developed by the author in cooperation with a company, is analyzed and examined in the same way as above. Lastly, a large scale house-type air solar collector is tested, and this type of solar collector using ca...
