Abstract
<p>We developed a new design of an air solar collector made in the form of an inseparable power unit, which includes a frame with heat-insulated walls, single glazing and a selective surface on its bottom. We defined a number of generalizing dependences for the determination of thermal efficiency of an air solar collector, namely, an influence of the mass air flow q<sub>a</sub> on a temperature difference of the heat-transfer agent t<sub>o</sub> and insulation E, on heat productivity q and the efficiency η of the solar collector.</p><p>Based on the experimental data, we obtained linear regression dependencies of the average daily ambient temperature t<sub>eat</sub> on energy illumination E and the average temperature of the heat-transfer agent carrier t<sub>aat</sub> of the average daily ambient temperature t<sub>eat</sub>. We verified the adequacy of the results of theoretical and experimental studies.</p><p>We established that we achieve the maximum values of the efficiency of the solar collector η ‒ from 65 to 80.6 % at a temperature of the outlet flow of the heat-transfer agent t<sub>o</sub> from 30 to 60 °C and mass air flow, q<sub>a</sub> from 170 to 190 m<sup>3</sup>/h.</p><p>We determined that an increase in the level of insulation E from 100 to 1,000 W/m<sup>2</sup> makes it possible to increase heating productivity of the collector q from 320 to 1,260 W and the temperature of the heat-transfer agent at the collector outlet t<sub>o</sub> from 10 to 60 °C.</p><p>We can use the obtained results in development and improvement of technical means for drying fruits, for improvement of technological and energy efficiency of the process.</p>
