Abstract

Porous media play an important role in the process of storage energy. In this paper, the influence of porous media on the performance of a double pass hybrid PV/thermal air collector was achieved by building an experimental set-up for this purpose. The study showed that using porous media expanded the area of heat transfer and thus increased the thermal efficiency and temperature of the exit air from the hybrid solar collector. The compound efficiency was increased (3%) after using the porous medium in the lower ducts of the double-pass hybrid collector. At the same time, the pressure drop was increased after using the porous media.
