Thermal efficiency of Double Pass Solar Air Heater (DPSAH) improved from 10% to 15% as compared to the Single Pass Solar Air Heater (SPSAH) and improves further using an integrated absorber with a heat storage unit.
A detailed review of various types of solar air heaters performance
Solar air heater (SAH) play a key part in solar energy use systems for air heating (Sukhatme and Nayak, 1996, Duffie and Beckman, 2006, Garg and Prakash, 2006). The maximum use of solar energy is achieved by optimal designing of solar air heaters. The absorber plate or solar collector is the most important part of SAH.

An updated review on solar air heating systems
A novel solar-geothermal system integrated with earth–to–air heat exchanger and solar air heater with phase change material—numerical modelling, experimental calibration and parametrical analysis
Review of the thermal efficiency of a tube-type solar air heaters
To date, flat plate solar air heaters have received the most attention in the research literature, but evidence of the efficiency gains from using tube-type solar air heaters is growing. The study
Solar heating for house or apartment in Switzerland
Since air absorbs the solar heat directly, without the detour via the medium water, air collectors have a very good efficiency. In direct sunlight, solar air collectors can warm the outside air by up to 40°K, and still by 4°K to 10°K when the sky is overcast.

Review of the thermal efficiency of a tube-type solar air
To date, flat plate solar air heaters have received the most attention in the research literature, but evidence of the efficiency gains from using tube-type solar air heaters is growing. The study aims to provide up-to-date information on tube-type solar air heaters, which will help advance the development and uptake of solar air heaters.
Comparing Solar Air Heater Designs & Performance
A solar heater that can move a lot of 120F air is more effective than 160F air moving too slowly. High interior temperatures lead to much more heat loss through the glazing . Fan speed and duct size will affect the air flow.
