Solar air-heating and cooling systems for residential and light commercial applications

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6637188
The integration of air-heating evacuated tube collectors with pebble-bed thermal storage and other air system components to provide the most cost-effective state-of-the art solar space and domestic hot water heating systems is discussed. The combination of these exceptional high temperature performance collectors with currently available lithium bromide absorption cooling units is described. The operation of the pebble-bed thermal storage subsystem at different temperature levels at different seasons is mentioned. (MHR)
