Abstract
A Green Tower for setup a pilot experiment consists of the solar collector and the tower was built. The temperature distribution of the Green Tower was measured and analyzed. The data of the highest experimental temperature inside the Green Tower collector’s reached was 52oC at 1300 hours at solar irradiation received of 623W/m2 respectively, with the ambient temperature at 31 oC. The Green Tower that used solar thermal power and utilizing a combination of solar air collector using the principal of solar oven and central updraft tube to generate a solar induced convective flow, which drives pressure to develop artificial wind. This paper presents the experimental field study and practical experience of the Green Tower. The discussion on temperature distribution and also updraft wind of the Green Tower is described and then the results from the designing, building and experimental are presented. The results and suggestions for the future reference will also be discussed.
