In order to investigate the effects of new developments of solar colle
ctor types on the exergetic efficiency of a solar collector with disto
rted plates (nonparallel plates), an experimental set up was construct
ed. This experimental apparatus consists of four types of air-heating
flat-plate solar collectors, air circulation fan, measuring elements a
nd other auxiliary equipment. The experiments were made in February, M
arch, April, May, June and July in 1992 under the same ambient air con
ditions for the four different collector types. The exergetic efficien
cy of the collectors is calculated by using the experimental data, and
comparisons are performed among the different collectors.
