Industrial processes require significant amounts of hot air, emphasizing the importance developing efficient solar thermal systems to reduce dependency on fossil fuels and mitigate environmental impact. Most early studies focus small-scale setups with lower airflow rates, limiting their applicability industrial applications that higher volumes air. The primary this work is evaluate impact series parallel networking energy enviro-economic performance evacuated tube-based air heating systems, specifically for process moderate flow rates up 1000 kg/h. A medium scale 42kWth experimental setup which consists a blower, 28 sets Evacuate Tube Solar Collector (ETSC) modules 4 7 arrangements, baffle plates, header, common duct, developed. rate was adjusted across between 150 kg/h 500 kg/h, maintaining total at outlet using control valves. Results indicate maximum average temperature 356 K achieved On clear sky days, designed system can deliver over 323 an operational 9:30 a.m. 4:00 p.m. highest efficiency obtained operating For cost per kWh provide 343 358 projected be 0.0083$ (0.63 INR). least CO 2 emission reductions were identified in respectively. reduction emissions 19.68 tCO year. Utilization evacuate tube collector deployed fuel dependancy. more suitable such as food product drying, paint etc.
