Beers, D.

The Stewart-Teele-Mitchell solar energy system is installed in a 1900 square-foot, single family dwelling located in Malta, New York. The system is designed to provide solar energy for space heating, and domestic hot water heating. Solar energy is collected by two banks of flat plate collectors with a gross area of 432 square feet. Solar energy is transferred from the collector array to a 1000 gallon insulated storage tank in the basement. Freeze protection is provided by means of a Glycol-Water solution through the collectors. Auxiliary space heating is provided by an oil fired boiler. Solar energy for heating domestic hot water is stored in a 75-gallon preheat tank and circulates to a conventional 40-gallon domestic hot water heater through a heat exchanger located between the collectors and the solar storage tank. Auxiliary energy for domestic hot water is provided by a natural gas fired DHW tank. (MHR)
