Abstract

The prime goal of current research work is to design, fabricate and test the performance of vacuum tube solar air collector. This paper investigates the influence of inclination angle on the variation of inside temperature of vacuum tube and header of vacuum tube solar air collector. Vacuum tube solar air collector is used to produce hot air over a period of daytime without tracking the sun. Results found that the variation of inside temperature of vacuum tube increases from 45.8°C to 56.5°C, 42.7°C to 92.3°C and 43.7°C to 94.1°C and the variation of inside temperature of header increases from 38.4°C to 48.1°C, 34.6°C to 92.3°C and 35.2°C to 72.2°C for 30°, 45° and 60° inclination angle.
