An innovative system for the production of domestic hot water with high efficient solar hybrid collectors

摘要

A research and development has been committed since 3 years by an industrial consortium in the field of hybrid solar collector for heat, Domestic Hot Water (DHW), electrical power production. An innovative system has been studied based on a concept combining: 1. Hybrid solar collectors of innovative design 2. Thermodynamic loop to the production of heat, domestic hot water and in some cases, air refreshing A prototype has been implemented and as it operating since September 2010, extensive amount of experimental data have been collected for 2 years. The integration in building of such a solar system AERAUSOL may be of different type. The integration on a terrace roof or in building front is important in Mediterranean countries. This was the choice of the AERAUSOL prototype. Nevertheless, it is clear that the actual demand corresponds mainly to traditional roofing design and consequently, presents the first issue of architectural integration. Therefore there is a need of new design of the collector devices and hybrid ventilation.
