Using the power of the sun is becoming more and
more popular to generate the heat besides needing electricity.
Solar air heating systems which are used for supplemental
heating are extremely effective and most economical way of the
building heating. In addition, solar air heating systems are
important in view of CO2 reduction strategies since these systems
decreases the greenhouse gas emissions as a result of reducing
the using of fossil-based sources. The performances of these
systems are depending on their designs and operating
parameters.
In the presented paper, three different types of solar air
heaters were designed and analyzed in the thermally by using
computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The solar radiation values
were given by the Solar Load module in the ANSYS Fluent
programme. Mesh independence was taken into account in
numerical solutions. The results of three different designs were
thermally interpreted and the yield values of the designs were
compared.
