Solar energy system performance evaluation, Hogate's Restaurant, Washington, DC, June through August 1978
Hogate's Restaurant (located in Washington, DC) has 6,254 square feet of flat plate collectors used to support energy requirements for a hot water system. The restaurant requires approximately 7,000 gallons of hot water each day between 4:00 am and 2:00 pm. This hot water is used by the restaurant's kitchen facilities and must be supplied at 150/sup 0/F. The solar energy system is a retrofit, and as such, the collectors face southwest instead of ideally facing south. The solar collector loop uses a mixture of 60% propylene glycol and 40% water as the heat transfer fluid. The potable water supply is isolated from the heat transfer fluid by a liquid to liquid heat exchanger. The collection and transfer of solar energy is controlled by the activation of two sets of pumps.
