Zusammenfassung:With the continuous development and utilization of clean energy, the thermal utilization of solar energy is an important research direction. In view of the problems of the low utilization rate of solar heat in alpine regions of solar energy, an air-type vacuum-tube solar collector (AVSC) with air as the heat-exchange medium was designed. The vacuum tube of the solar heat collector adopted a double-pass spiral direct-current structure, and the vacuum tube had a built-in heat-storage rod. In order to test the heat collection performance of the designed air evacuated-tube solar collector, a heat collection performance test of the collector was conducted. The results showed that the average heat collection efficiency of the vacuum tube solar collector without phase-change heat-storage rods was 38%. The evacuated-tube solar collector using water as the heat transfer medium had an average heat collection efficiency of 58%. The average equivalent heat collection efficiency of the AVSC with a built-in phase-change heat-storage rod was 61%.
