Experimental investigation of evacuated heat pipe solar collector efficiency using phase-change fluid

Performance of a microencapsulated phase-change material (PCM) as a heat-transport medium in an evacuated heat pipe solar collector was evaluated and the results compared with those using water. Collector efficiency was experimentally determined according to the method based on European Standard EN...
