| Popis: | A theoretical study was conducted on the performance of photovoltaic cells by forced airflow on the cell base. The study was conducted using numerical simulation software (ANSYS- cfx) to select the best model for its manufacture. The simulation results showed that the air guides model is the best, directing the largest amount of air to the base of the cell and the lowest cost and available in local markets. Air guides shall be installed inside an aluminum channel fixed to the bottom of the cell base and the channel dimensions shall be selected according to the dimensions of the photovoltaic cell to be cooled. A numerical study determine the best number and best location of the air guides inside the duct channel and the tilt angle of air guides and showed that the optimum number of pneumatic guides is (18) in a position (70 mm) from the base of the channel and at a 45-mile angle with the horizon. |
