(Solar window box heat collectors). Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5501094

Passive solar window box heat collectors were built and installed over outdoor vent openings of unit ventilators in the classrooms of Woodstown High School in Woodstown, New Jersey. The collectors were designed to use solar energy to preheat the ventilator air before it reaches the inside heater. The collectors were built by students and consisted of two types of construction: one containing a fluted aluminum collector plate with bi-metal dampers; the second containing a flat aluminum plate with little air restriction. Testing of the collectors involved the recording of room temperatures only and a sample of the results is included.
