Abstract

In this work, a heat storage vacuum tube solar collector intubated with heat storage tube is designed, which consists of solar vacuum tube, phase change material insert tube, and heat holding cover. The internal energy conversion, transmission, and storage theory are established based on the structure of the heat storage vacuum tube. The parallel and series-parallel solar air collector system prototype consisting of nine heat storage solar vacuum tube solar collectors is designed and tested. The test results showed that the daily average conversion efficiency of the parallel and series-parallel prototype reached 56.9% and 48.46%, respectively. Compared with nonheat storage prototype, the heat storage parallel and series-parallel prototype had higher conversion efficiency by, respectively, 10.9% and 7.8%, longer effective heating time, and better heating stability and practicability. At the same time, the heat storage solar collector has compact structure, which is convenient to use.
