device into room. Some heated air exchange heat with duct
into room by conduction, some flows into room
directly.The experiment result is shown in Figure 9. And
test time is 2005.12.16, test place is: somewhere in
Zhenjiang, Jiangsu. In the test, ventilating device power is
28 W, aperture area is about 5.7 m
2
. The average irradiance
is 691.6W/ m
2
, average ambient air temperature is 4.ć,
average inlet temperature where ventilating device is 41.3
ć,average room air temperature is 15.7ć.

5. EXPERIMENT RESULT
From Figure 3, we can know that the average collector’s
heat efficiency is about 30.4% which under 50% when
solar-wall-air-collector works in natural flow. So under
natural flow, its application has some restraints, but to the
areas where electric power providing is shortage, it still has
great market prospect, and its feasibility and economy need
more analysis. From Figure 5, we can know that the average
efficiency is 60% or so when solar-wall-air-collector works
in force flow, in this way, heat efficiency is improved
obviously, which application is more extensive than natural
flow. From figure 8, we can obtain that the heating system
can ensure building’s indoors average temperature at 15.7ć
when the heat load is 82.6W/m
2
. In this way, we can attain
16ć which indoors require temperature on a whole day.
6. RESULT AND DISCUSSION
The designed solar-wall-air-collector not only structure is
simple also applying is not restrain in space, which heat
efficiency is superior when under force flow condition, and
applied to building can obtain requirement temperature
using less power energy. So this collector can be used in
schools or factories’ heating where has enough sunshine,
also can be used to dry grain, grass and so on. But the
working condition is different, for example, solar irradiance
and collector place way, ambient temperature is all at
unsteady parameter. But in the paper, we only investigate
collector under given place way and nice solar irradiance,
so to the day test is shortage, and to the heat performance
and economy performance of the collector and applying to
building still need more study.
