Design, Development of a Solar Chimney with Built-in Latent Heat Storage Material for Natural Ventilation S.D. Sharma; Hisashi Kotani; Yasuaki KANEKO; Toshio Yamanaka; Kazunobu Sagara A prototype inclined solar chimney incorporating sodium sulfate decahydrate as a phase change material was built and tested to extend natural ventilation into the evening and night.

Summary
A prototype inclined solar chimney incorporating sodium sulfate decahydrate as a phase change material was built and tested to extend natural ventilation into the evening and night. With a 0.20 m gap and 45° tilt, the stored heat kept airflow steady at about 155 m³/h after sunset; a thermal model predicting airflow and component temperatures is also presented.
