Abstract :
In this paper numerical simulated the thermal properties of solar air collector. With the ray-tracing solar load model provided by Fluent software, the solar radiation heat flux can be solve using radiation heat transfer equation, and then consider loading radiation heat into the source terms of the energy equation. The thermal effects rules of air flow and heat transfer in the collector box, temperature fields as well as the wind speed and solar radiation and other related factors under the different conditions have been discussed and analyzed.
