Investigation of rock bed solar collector cum storage system

Abstract

Abstract This paper presents an experimental investigation of a prototype rock bed solar collector. This collector consists of rocks in a galvanized iron box; the rocks are painted dull black and suitably glazed. The heat can be extracted by forced air convection. This system can act as a storage system, as well, when suitably constructed. The heat decay characteristic of the bed is also studied. A preliminary economic analysis of this air heater is presented.
