A balcony wall type solar water heater system was designed and constructed in a high-rise building. The U-type evacuated glass tube solar collector is fixed vertically on the balcony wall. The water, heated in the solar collector, flows through the exchanger coil in the water tank and then flows...

Energy and material saving considerations, as well as economic incentives, have led toward making effort for producing more efficient heat exchange equipment such as solar air heaters, heat exchangers. In order to enhance the heat transfer rate to flowing air in the duct of solar air heater and...

Usage of thermal energy storage (TES) for storing energy is a favourable technology which is used in current years. The normal TES in building applications is water which is used in the heating system. Recently, PCM technology improvement helps to use different types of PCMs for increasing...
