Interest in solar air heating is in full recrudescence. Applications can be many and varied wherever the need is
created to heat and ventilate the old or new premises, ensure crop drying, or industrial drying, etc. This new interest has led for several years by the appearance on the market of a fair number of systems, including the Transparent Transpired Collector (TTC). The present work presents the description of physical phenomena that govern the operation of the TTC as well as a formulation of these by heat balances. Moreover, order to maximize the collector efficiency and minimizing the temperature difference between the incoming air and the outgoing air, an optimization was carried out using the design variables such as the hole diameter and hole pitch. |
