Summary
Paraffin wax was added as latent heat storage to a small solar chimney pilot built in Tehran, and its temperatures and airflow were compared with those of an identical setup without storage. The PCM version reached slightly higher absorber temperatures and air speeds, raising the average mass flow by roughly 8% and improving overall chimney performance.
