Abstract :Humankind faces enormous challenges relating to energy supply and ecological safety. Heating system is an essential part of homes in colder area, which needs a lot of energy. In this work a solar air heating system is designed by using easily accessible materials to heat the room. The adoption of low cost materials and easy design represents the novelties of the proposed system as compare to the other commercial collectors. This eco-friendly solar air heating system consists of flat plate collector (FPC), battery, solar cell and fans. FPC consists of transparent glass, absorbing plate, insulating material and fluid (air). In this experiment flat plate collectors are used inclined vertically at the angle of 45℃ near to the wall of the room which gives attractive results. The results were obtained from south face located room. The time of solar heating is about 7-8 hours on the daily bases and an average temperature difference obtained was about 12℃ as compared with the same dimension reference room. Experimental results conclude that this solar air heating system is able to heat the room in cold seasons. Hence the system making very important contribution for the saving of fossil fuels and diminution of carbon release on worldwide scale.Keywords : Flat plate collector, Glazing, absorbing plate, solar, air heating system
