Parker, B F

The Kentucky Solar Heating Handbook is intended to provide a general and basic approach to design and construction of solar heating systems for both the well-read lay-man, and for engineers and architects. Computed quantities of solar radiation available on sloping surfaces are based on solar radiation measurements at Lexington and Paradise, Kentucky. The collectors and storage systems include only passive solar heating and active flat plate solar collectors. The active collectors include liquid-type collectors with heat storage in water and air-type solar collectors with heat storage in uniformly sized stone (river gravel or crushed stone). Controls for solar heating and cooling systems, design of active systems, economics of solar domestic water heaters, collector design and heat storage are also addressed.
