In order to improve the efficiency of solar energy utilization in buildings
a solar pulsating heat pipe collector based on Fresnel concentrator is proposed
and the operation performance of the device is experimentally tested by using carbon nanotube-doped metal nanofluid as the heat transfer medium. Comparative studies show that the doped metal nanofluids exhibit better light-absorbing properties
and the higher the concentration
the better the light-absorbing properties. During the test period
the maximum temperature in the evaporation section of the collector was 119.5 ℃
and the average photothermal conversion rate of the device was the highest (69.4%) when the concentration was 0.015‰
which was 48.5% higher than that of hydrofluoroether. Appropriately reducing the liquid filling ratio of pulsating heat pipes is conducive to the improvement of solar energy conversion efficiency.
