In this paper double flow packed bed solar air heater has been investigated theoretically. The effect of air mass flow rate, porosity and different depth ratios at study state conditions on the thermal performance of a double flow packed bed solar air heater is found by using the alternative simulation system. Comparisons between the measured thermal and effective thermal efficiency of the double flow packed bed and double flow without packed bed solar air heaters were also
