Review on latent heat solar air collectors

Abstract

Solar energy is employed by Solar air collectors. These collectors are simple devices to heat air. A typical solar air heater has the main parts such as glass cover, the panel, and the air duct. An air blower is included in the active solar system. An absorber plate is included in the air duct which is made up of wooden or metallic. The sides and bottom of the duct had been enclosed through the thermal insulation.
