Moore, D.

A system designed to provide solar space heating and to preheat domestic hot water is described. The system consists of nine Payne flat-plate air collectors with a gross area of 288 square feet, a storage bin containing 20,250 pounds of rock, ductwork, and an air-to-liquid heat exchanger for water preheating. The collector, storage, energy-to-load, and auxiliary subsystems are thoroughly described. Operation of the solar and auxiliary systems may involve one or more of five modes of operation: collector-to-storage, direct solar-to-space heating, storage-to-space heating, preheating domestic hot water, and auxiliary space heating. Original cost estimates for provisioning and installation of the solar system are given. The house is instrumented for the National Solar Data Network. (LEW)
