| Aim: To inform the participants of the fundamental mode of operation of solar heating systems and give them knowledge of the problems about the practical design of solar collectors and solar heating systems. This provides the necessary background for being able to calculate and dimension solar heating systems and connect these with traditional heating systems for domestic hot water and space heating. |
| Contents: The design and mode of operation of solar collectors, heat storages and solar heating systems. Heat balance and efficiency factors of solar collectors. Calculation and test of the efficiency of solar collectors. Thermal behaviour of heat storages. Calculation of temperatures in heat storages. Calculation and optimization of solar heating systems and exposition of conditions about the construction and design of these. Both individual and collective solar heating systems including seasonal heat storages are treated. Theoretical as well as experimental work will be carried aout. Among others different measuring technics will be introduced. |
| Remarks: Previous course: 64360, expanded with experimental work |
