In the present work a metal foam heat sink is presented, which is suitable for hybrid solar panels. The heat sink is designed to be placed in contact with a layer of photovoltaic cells, removing from them the heat resulting from the solar radiation. It is composed of an aluminum box containing an aluminum open-cell foam, through which a water flow is forced. Some preliminary measurements are presented. In particular the pressure drops between the inlet and outlet water plena and the global heat transfer effectiveness are shown under different conditions.

Abstract

In the present work a metal foam heat sink is presented, which is suitable for hybrid solar panels. The heat sink is designed to be placed in contact with a layer of photovoltaic cells, removing from them the heat resulting from the solar radiation. It is composed of an aluminum box containing an aluminum open-cell foam, through which a water flow is forced. Some preliminary measurements are presented. In particular the pressure drops between the inlet and outlet water plena and the global heat transfer effectiveness are shown under different conditions.
