Resumen:
The paper describes the basic functioning of a new solar humid-air collector system, following the principle of a close, two-phased thermosyphon. By using combined evaporation and condensation, efficient heat transfer to a central heat-exchanger as well as increased heat conduction from (humid) air to water will be achieved. Two different prototypes are built during the European Community’s research project “Watergy”: a variant for agricultural use as well as a variant with emphasis on integral building design. The former is a new type of closed greenhouse allowing for ...
