Design and Construction of a Residential Solar Heating and Cooling System.

摘要

The first integrated system providing heating and cooling to a building by use of solar energy has been designed and installed in a residential-type building at Colorado State University. Solar heated liquid supplies heat to air circulating in the building and to a lithium bromide absorption air conditioner. Service hot water is also provided. Approximately two-thirds of the heating and cooling loads are expected to be met by solar energy,the balance by natural gas. The report contains details of design and principles of operation. A breakdown of costs of equipment and its installation is provided.
