Abstract
The incident heat flux is influenced by the nature of the receptive surface coverage. Indeed, the receptive surface covered by agricultural soil and local soil receives the same incident flux. This flux is reduced by 4% in case of cement and 8% in case of plaster (i.e; relative to flux received by agricultural soil and local soil). The reception glass covered with agricultural soil transmits better the energy received from the lamp to the heating medium (heat transfer fluid); this energy is lessened by 9% in the case of local soil, by 27% in the case of plaster and 18% in the case of cement. So, the incident solar radiation is well reflected by the plaster, it is less reflected by the cement and it is the least reflected in the case of agricultural soil and local soil. So, the thermal collector demonstrates that air temperature is affected by the nature of the soil. It is recommended to preserve agricultural lands and do not transforming them into urban areas in order to reduce the effect of global warming.
