- Abstract
A heat pipe photovoltaic / thermal (PV/T) component on the basis of active air-cooled was designed and constructed. The heat pipe evaporation section was used for cooling the back plate of solar panel, and the condensation section was arranged in the air flow passage. A axial flow fan was arranged at the outlet of the air flow passage to strengthen heat transfer between heat pipe condensation section and air. The collected hot air can be used for building heating, strengthening ventilation as well as hot air drying. Under the climatic conditions in Kunming area, panel temperature, cold/ hot air temperature, electrical power, electrical efficiency, thermal power and thermal efficiency of solar PV/T component were tested and analyzed. Experimental results showed that, the PV/T component has excellent electrical and thermal performance. Under the condition of daily total solar radiation was 19.78~23.25 MJ/m2, the average daily electrical efficiency was between 10.84~12.21%, the average thermal efficiency was 26.15~31.68%, the highest panel temperature was 52.3~65.1, and the hot air temperature was up to 42.3.
