Use of solar energy for heating an asphalt storage tank. Final report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5121893
A 10,000 gal. asphalt storage tank was equipped with a solar heating system and instrumented to determine its effectiveness over a 12.5-month period. An evaluation of the data was used to determine if an investment in solar-energy systems to assist in heating asphalt is a favorable alternative to the conventional electrical heating system used by the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation.
