Retrofit Active Solar Hot Water System. Final Report

摘要

The purpose of this activity was to investigate methods to develop an active solar hot water heating system specifically designed for retrofit on existing homes. To meet that end, two-thirds of the system design is complete - an exterior plumbing system and an external heat exchanger for a hot water tank. Also, the active solar collector has been designed with a parabolic trough reflector and an active tracking system. However, the fabrication and installation of three systems on existing homes is scheduled to be completed as planned. (ERA citation 09:019945)
