Heinig, C S

A solar/subambient seawater heating system was designed and intalled at the Intertide Corporation shellfish hatchery located in Harpswell, Maine in February of 1982. Data was collected on the performance of the unit over two operating seasons. Results show up to 72.6% and 66.1% greater efficiency over direct electrical heating and gas heating, respectively, on given months. However, the high initial cost of installation results in an extensive payback period in short to moderate running time applications. Modifications, and alternative designs are discussed.
