SIMULATION OF A SOLAR OFFICE HEATING SYSTEM WITH AIR COLLECTORS AND A ROCK BED STORE.

Author(s) : MICHELSON E.

Summary

THE PERFORMANCE OF A CONSTANT AIR VOLUME SOLAR AIR HEATING SYSTEM FOR A FLOOR OF OFFICES IN ISRAEL, WAS SIMULATED OVER ONE MONTH'S OPERATION. VERY LITTLE THERMAL BENEFIT CAN BE GAINED BY INCREASING THE COLLECTOR AREA ABOVE 40 M2. PURELY THERMAL CRITERIA INDICATE NO REAL OPTIMA FOR STORE DIMENSIONS. A SYSTEM WITH A COLLECTOR AREA OF 40 M2 AND A STORE VOLUME OF 6 TO 12 M3 WILL PROVIDE 65-68% OF THE MONTHLY HEATING LOAD OF 4 GJ. ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS WILL EVENTUALLY DETERMINE THE SIZE AND DETAILS OF THE SYSTEM.
