SIMS Prototype System I Test Results: Engineering Analysis

摘要

The space and domestic water solar heating system designated SIMS Prototype System 1 has been evaluated at the MSFC Solar Heating and Cooling Test Facility. The test system used 720 ft exp 2 (gross) of Solar Energy Products Air Collectors, a Solar Control Corporation SAM 20 Air Handler with Model 75-175 control unit, a Jackson Solar Storage tank with Rho Sigma Mod 106 controller, and 20 tons of rock storage. The test data analysis performed by IBM evaluates the system performance and documents the suitability of SIMS Prototype System 1 hardware for field installation. (ERA citation 04:007707)
