Solar heating and hot water system installed at Arlington Racquetball Club, Arlington, Virginia. Final report

Technical Report · Fri May 01 00:00:00 EDT 1981

OSTI ID:6150727

The solar energy system consists of 2520 sq. ft. of flat plate solar collectors and a 4000 gallon solar storage tank. The transfer medium in the forced-closed loop is a non-toxic antifreeze solution (50% water, 50% propylene glycol). The service hot water system consists of a preheat coil (60 ft. of 1 1/4'' copper tubing) located in the upper third of the solar storage tank and a recirculation loop between the preheat coil and the existing electric water heaters. The space heating system consists of two (2) separate water-to-air heat exchangers located in the ducts of the existing space heating/cooling systems. The heating water will be supplied from the solar storage tank. This report includes extracts from site files, specification references for solar modifications to existing building heating and hot water systems, drawings installation, operation and maintenance instructions.
