Solar chimneys are among relatively modern mechanisms in the field of renewable energy which can be employed for power generation or indoor ventilation. Not many industrial prototypes of this mechanism have been implemented; however, numerous studies have been conducted to enhance the efficiency of these systems. These studies experimentally and theoretically addressed the applications of solar chimneys. In this article, experimental research on solar chimneys for ventilation is reviewed. The aim of this work is to identify parameters that have been experimentally tested so far to determine which items should be tested in the future. Each study was investigated individually due to the extent of the investigations and the difference in the environmental conditions of the tests. The difference between this review and previous studies is the focus on experimental studies. Parameters such as dimension, geometry, heat absorber materials, phase change material, hybrid systems, and installation angles were examined. The type of tested mechanism, test conditions, and studied parameters were statistically analyzed and suggestions were proposed for future research.
太阳能烟囱是可再生能源领域中相对较新的一种机制，可用于发电或室内通风。这种机制的工业原型并不多，但已经进行了大量研究来提高这些系统的效率。这些研究从实验和理论两个方面探讨了太阳能烟囱的应用。本文综述了用于通风的太阳能烟囱的实验研究。这项工作的目的是确定迄今为止已经进行过实验测试的参数，以确定哪些项目应该在未来进行测试。由于调查的范围和测试环境条件的不同，每个研究都是单独进行的。与之前的研究相比，本综述的不同之处在于侧重于实验研究。检查了尺寸、几何形状、吸热材料、相变材料、混合系统和安装角度等参数。对所测试的机制类型、测试条件和研究参数进行了统计分析，并为未来的研究提出了建议。
