IIR documentSummary
Solar air heaters provide a cost-effective means of reducing energy used for heating fresh air and at times can supply useful amounts of heat to spaces that lack passive solar gains. In the interests of improving indoor air quality, fresh air quantities have been increasing, with associated increases in heating energy consumption in cooler climates. This paper explores three broad types of solar air heaters, their characteristics and typical application: simple panel, transpired, glazed. The key design parameters: orientation, air flow rate, heating load profile, absorber and glazing properties are examined to aid adapting solar air heater design to specific project circumstances.
