Solar　air　collector　(SAC)　is　a　device,　which　can　absorb　solar　energy　and　transfer　them　as　the　heat　energy　to　the　air.　And　it　can　be　used　in　the　room　heating,　strengthening　ventilation,　drying　and　dehumidification　system,　etc.,　conveniently.　A　novel　flat　plate　solar　collector　with　micro-heat　pipe　arrays　(MHPA-FPSAC)　is　proposed,　which　is　characterized　by　low　cost,　easy　fabrication,　and　modularity.　In　the　proposed　structure,　absorber　film　plate　layer　can　be　well　contacted　with　the　whole　area　of　evaporation　section　of　MHPA,　which　can　enlarge　the　effective　heat　transfer　area　of　the　collector,　the　indirect　contact　way　of　the　air　and　absorber　plate　heat　exchanger　achieve　the　physical　isolation　between　them,　which　solve　the　contradiction　problem　(strengthen　heat　transfer　along　with　increasing　of　heat　loss)　exists　in　the　traditional　flat　plate　air　collector,　well.　The　thermal　efficiency　of　the　collector　increases　with　increasing　flow　velocity　and　its　average　value　reaches　at　68%　during　the　test　period　when　the　air　volume　flow　rate　equals　to　240　m3/h.　The　MATLAB　calculation　model　built　in　this　paper　coincides　well　with　the　experiment　results,　which　can　be　used　in　the　performance　investigation　of　the　collector.　©　2018　International　Heat　Transfer　Conference.　All　rights　reserved.
