THE OPTIMUM GLAZING HEIGHT OF A GLAZED SOLAR COLLECTOR REGENERATOR FOR OPEN-CYCLE ABSORPTION COOLING
An analysis based on experimental data for the optimum glazing height of a glazed solar collector/regenerator is presented. Experimental data were obtained at the National Sun Yat-Sen University, Kaohsiung, Taiwan, under a humid climate. The optimum glazing height is 0.07 m. The optimally-glazed solar collector/regenerator performs better than an unglazed unit for hot humid climates.
