Direct liquid-immersion cooling of solar cells using dimethyl silicon oil is proposed as a heat dissipation solution for linear CPV (concentrating photovoltaic) systems. To reduce the liquid holdup, a narrow rectangular channel receiver was designed and its heat transfer performance was...

This paper presents experimental studies on a solar-assisted ground coupled heat pump (SAGCHP) system for space heating. The system was installed at the Hebei Academy of Sciences in Shijiazhuang (lat. N38°03′, long. E114°26′), China. Solar collectors are in series connection with the...
