Semi-Passive Solar System. Final Report

摘要

The testing of a semi-passive solar heating system is presented. Space heating for a house was the objective of this demonstration project. The system consists of two solar panels and a solar cavity integrated with a rock bed storage unit, and a piping network with a blower for circulation. Results from the tests predict a payback period of nearly 12 years. Suggestions for further modifications of the system are included. (ERA citation 10:041535)
