Summary

Laboratory tests on two solar chimney prototypes for building ventilation compare performance with and without paraffin phase change material, using halogen lamps as a simulated sun. The PCM raised airflow and slowed its decline during six-hour periods with no heat input, with mean ventilation above 70 m³/h after charging at 550 W/m².
