Summary
A small laboratory rig was built to examine how air behaves beneath the collector of a solar chimney system combined with seawater evaporation, tracking air temperature and humidity under various structural configurations. Air reaching the chimney base is close to saturated, seawater allows round-the-clock operation, and performance improves with better water absorptivity and optimized chimney geometry.
