Performance data for the solar space heating system at the Troy-Miami Library in Troy, Ohio, are presented and analyzed. The solar system utilizes 3264 sq. ft. of Owens-Illinois Sunpak Shaped Reflector evacuated tube collectors and a 5000 gallon underground steel-lined fiberglass water storage tank to heat the 23,000 sq. ft. building. The solar system performance can be briefly summarized: solar fraction, 31%; solar savings ratio, 0.20; conventional fuel savings, 11,421 kWh; system performance factor, 0.29; solar system COP, 2.96.
