Abstract
The project concerns a solar heating system based on layers of sand to be utilized in a low energy house. The layers of sand comprise the basis of the solar heating system and constitute an insulated 0.8 - 1.2 meter-thick volume of sand inlaid with floor heating pipes in layers. The sand layer covers the area of the whole house and can be laid out in zones reflecting the heating needs of the rooms above. The hot water container and sand layer are connected in series and controlled in a simple manner. The system is described in detail and various weaknesses in the system are pointed out and suggestions are given for improvements. Otherwise the system of using layers of sand for heat storage in this context is judged to be promising in relation to solar water heating and it is concluded that heating needs can be covered to a degree of up to 50%, which is a significant improvement on the 10% which can normally be expected in the case of traditional solar water heating systems.
