Solar radiation is absorbed by the collector, which in turn warms its surface The heat from the collector surface is transferred to the boundary layer of air
The heated boundary layer of air is then drawn through the perforated collector by a fan unit, into the specifically engineered cavity in the wall construction
Fan unit Ambient air
From the air cavity, the heated fresh air can then be delivered directly into the building or as preheated air to the building’s main heating plant.
