Thermal performance analysis of a double-pass solar air heater This study investigates the utilization of lava rock as a sensitive heat storage material in a double-pass solar air heater.
LAVA''s technologies directly contribute to climate goals by enabling zero-emission electricity generation, replacing fossil fuel-based industrial heating systems, and enhancing the reliability of renewable
Lava rock's integration into the double-pass solar air heater significantly lowered the temperature of the absorber plate as compared to the conventional double-pass solar air heater, showcasing the thermal storage properties of the lava rock.
The present study used lava rock as the porous medium and sensitive heat storage double-pass solar air heater for thermal performance improvement. The experiment was performed on three sets of configurations: (i) DPSAH with no lava rock, C1-DPSAH, (ii) DPSAH with 50 % lava rock bed, C2-DPSAH, (iii) DPSAH with 100 % lava rock packed bed, C3-DPSAH.
This study investigates the utilization of lava rock as a sensitive heat storage material in a double-pass solar air heater (DPSAH). The present study uses lava rock as a porous medium and material for sensible heat storage. The lava rock has never been used as a packed bed before in the literature.
Three configurations were examined: (i) Double-pass solar air heater without the lava rock, (ii) Double-pass solar air heater with a 50 % lava rock packed bed, and (iii) Double-pass solar air heater with a 100 % lava rock packed bed.
It is because of the fact that output temperature is dropping and maintained at the same time by the lava rock. In contrast, the temperature of lava rock remains consistent throughout the charging and discharging process, making good thermal distribution in the heater. Fig. 12.
