Research Status and Development Trend of Solar Heating Technology

Abstract

Abstract As one of the renewable green energy sources, solar energy has great advantages in energy conservation and environmental protection. With the deepening of the research on solar heating technology, more issues have been discussed. This paper summarizes the research status of solar heating technology from two aspects of solar energy heat collection and heating implementation. Firstly, heat collection technology is still the key to solar energy heat utilization, which focuses on the numerical simulation of heat collector and the influence of heat collection structure on heat collection capacity. Secondly, thermodynamic analysis of heat transfer enhancement of ventilation gap and air flow in passive solar heating system is a hot topic; some scholars even put forward new heat transfer theoretical models and improved equations. Whereas in the active solar heating system, due to the imbalance and instability of solar energy, most of the research focuses on the construction of multiple complementary heating system and the corresponding optimal operation mechanism as well as the study of solar energy heat storage materials, devices and their heat storage performance. Thirdly, in view of the actual building environment in rural areas of northern China, it is proposed that using distributed solar energy collection method combined with heat storage technology and using green energy internet to distribute heat energy is the research trend of maximizing the application of solar heating in the region.
