Title: Solar pond performance estimation, engineering design, and construction experience

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5459284

A solar pond is a low-cost solar collector and storage device for low-temperature (less than 110/sup 0/C) heat. However, there are many design and construction details that must be considered to obtain the optimum efficiencies necessary to achieve economical performance. Several of these considerations, as well as a brief description of mathematical models for estimating performance, are discussed in this paper.
