Description

The sun radiates considerable energy onto the earth. Putting thatrelatively low-intensity (rarely over 300 Btu/h·ft2 [950 W/m2])energy to work has lead to the creation of many types of devices to convert thatenergy into useful forms, mainly heat and electricity. How that energy isvalued economically drives the ebb and flow of the global solar industry. Thischapter discusses several different types of solar equipment and system designsfor various HVAC applications, as well as methods to determine the solarresource.Quality and Quantity of Solar EnergySolar Energy CollectionWater Heating SystemsActive and Passive Systems for Solar Heating and CoolingSystemsCooling by Nocturnal Radiation and EvaporationCooling by Solar EnergySizing Solar Heating and Cooling Systems: Energy RequirementsInstallation Guidelines of Solar Thermal CollectorsDesign, Installation, and Operation Checklist of SolarHeating and Cooling SystemsPhotovoltaic ApplicationsDesign and Performance of Photovoltaic SystemsInstallation and Operation Guidelines for PhotovoltaicSystemsSymbolsNo. of Pages: 38
