Summary

Experiments in Tiruchirappalli, India, examined how tilt angle and the spacing between glazing and absorber plate affect the ventilation delivered by solar chimneys. Peak airflow reached roughly 0.32 m³ under 1000 W/m² of sunshine, and a tilted chimney matched the efficiency of a vertical one while requiring a structure about a quarter lower.
