Solar Project Description. Kalwall Corporation Warehouse, Manchester, New Hampshire. [Includes glossary]
A brief summary is given of the Kalwall Corporation's solar heated warehouse demonstration project. The direct gain passive solar system was retrofitted to a 10,000 square foot warehouse section in Manchester, New Hampshire. The design used 1750 square feet of Kalwall Corporation's Sunwall Solar Window as the south wall collector aperture. The warehouse's concrete slab floor and inventories provide thermal storage. Five 24-inch, thermostatically controlled fans are used for heat circulation. Auxiliary heat is provided by two space heaters supplied by hot water from an oil-fired boiler. The solar system has been fully instrumented for data acquisition and is included in the National Solar Data Network.
