Influence of nocturnal thermal insulation on thermal performance improvement of solar air collector with phase-change material

Solar air collectors (SAC) are widely used for the wintery heating, but they have a mismatch shortcoming between supply and demand periods of heat quantity. Integrating phase change material (PCM) into solar air collectors was usually employed to overcome this mismatch, but it was proved that the he...
