Abstract
There are numerous designs of solar air heaters available in the literature [N. K. Bansal, R. Chandra and M. A. S. Malik, Solar air heaters. In Reviews of Renewable Resources of Energy (Edited by M. S. Sodha, S. S. Mathur and M. A. S. Malik). Wiley Eastern, New Delhi (1984) (Ref. [1]); M. S. Sodha, N. K. Bansal, A. Kumar, P. K. Bansal and M. A. S. Malik, Solar Crop Drying. CRC Press, Cleveland, Ohio (1987) (Ref. [2]). Therefore, there is a need for a repeatable test method independent of outdoor environmental conditions and test location. Various experimental techniques have been described so as to allow the net thermal output of an irradiated solar air heater array to be reproduced indoors. The effect of air leaks has been incorporated into the performance equations. The other well known testing procedures have also been described. A method for generating design data for solar air heaters is described.
