Abstract:
An experimental study on the structural optimization of solar air compressor is conducted. The heating and cooling characteristics as well as the changes of solar energy utilization rate after installing a disturbing fan in the compressed air tank are tested and analyzed. The experimental results show that in the range of speed 2.0-6.7 m/s, there exists an optimal speed, which makes the solar thermal engine have the highest efficiency. Its cooling coefficient increases from 0.34-0.44 to 0.78-0.84, and the absorbent capacity of the compressor after cooling also increases significantly. According to the nominal solar energy utilization rate, compared with the ribbed heat-absorbing tube or smooth heat-absorbing tube without blower, the combined structure of blower and ribbed heat-absorbing tube has a great improvement. The improvement range is between 10.8% and 145.8%. Besides, the heat transfer enhancement effect of blower is obvious. © 2022, Solar Energy Periodical Office Co., Ltd. All right reserved.
