Solar project description for Bond Construction Company's single family residence, Gladstone, Missouri
The Bond Construction Company's solar energy system is installed in an approximately 1930 square-foot, three bedroom single family dwelling located in Gladstone, Missouri. The system is designed to provide solar energy for space heating and domestic hot water heating. Solar energy is collected by two banks of liquid flat plate collectors with a gross area of 465 square feet. Solar energy is transferred from the collector array to an 800 gallon storage tank in the basement. Freeze protection is provided by means of circulation antifreeze through the collectors. Overheating protection is provided by venting vapor from storage using collectors as radiators at night, and allowing collectors to boil. Space heating demands are met by circulating water from storage through a liquid to air heat exchanger through the distribution system of the house. Auxiliary space heating is provided by a natural gas fired furnace. Solar energy for heating domestic hot water is provided by transferring water from a storage tank to a conventional 82-gallon domestic hot water heater through a heat exchanger jacket located around the hot water tank.
