Life Cycle Assessment of the Use of Phase Change Material in an Evacuated Solar Tube Collector

This paper presents an environmental impact assessment of the entire cycle of existence of the tube-vacuum solar collector prototype. The innovativeness of the solution involved using a phase change material as a heat-storing material, which was placed inside the collector’s tubes-vacuum. The PCM us...
