Experimental study of a solar wall collector with PCM towards the

Solar wall collector with PCM can induce ventilation rate proportional to the incident solar radiation intensity. Therefore, it can reduce heat accumulation and improve indoor conditions.

Solar thermal collector

A solar thermal collector collects heat by absorbing sunlight. The term "solar collector" commonly refers to a device for solar hot water heating, but may refer to large power generating installations such as solar parabolic troughs and solar towers or non-water heating devices such as solar cookers or solar air heaters. [1]
