Enterprise solar air to rock/wood assisted heating system

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6710042
This report ontains the final project plans for the construction of an active solar air-to-rock forced air heating system which is assisted by an 80% efficient wood furnace. The system uses 800 square feet of flat plate collectors. The furnace system will burn wood at approximately 1500/sup 0/F, and store heat in a second rock bin. The following are presented and discussed: overview of system; air duct design and specifications; collector design and specifications; heat storage design and specifications; wood furnace design and specifications; electronic controls; fan sizing; control room specifications; heat load calculations and economic analysis.
