  2. Solar thermal collector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_collector

    The use of glycol lowers the water's heat carrying capacity marginally, while the addition of an extra heat exchanger may lower system performance at low light levels. [citation needed] A pool or unglazed collector is a simple form of flat-plate collector without a transparent cover.

  3. Passive solar building design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_solar_building_design

    Indirect solar gain techniques included moderating wall heat flow by variations of wall thickness (from 20 to 30 cm), using window glazing on the outdoor space to prevent heat loss, dedicating 15–20% of floor area for thermal storage, and implementing a Trombe wall to absorb heat entering the space. Overhangs are used to block direct sunlight ...

  4. Central solar heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_solar_heating

    Central solar heating is a sub-class of 'large-scale solar heating' systems - a term applied to systems with solar collector areas greater than 500 m 2. Aquifers, boreholes and artificial ponds (costing €30/m 3 ) are used as heat storage (up to 90% efficient) in some central solar heating plants, which later extract the heat (similar to ...

  5. Cooling load temperature difference calculation method

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooling_load_temperature...

    The CLF is the cooling load at a given time compared to the heat gain from earlier in the day. [1] [5] The SC, or shading coefficient, is used widely in the evaluation of heat gain through glass and windows. [1] [5] Finally, the SCL, or solar cooling load factor, accounts for the variables associated with solar heat load.

  6. Storage heater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_heater

    A domestic storage heater which uses cheap night time electricity to heat ceramic bricks which then release their heat during the day. A storage heater or heat bank (Australia) is an electrical heater which stores thermal energy during the evening, or at night when electricity is available at lower cost, and releases the heat during the day as required.

  7. Solar chimney - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_chimney

    This natural ventilation process can be augmented by a solar chimney. The chimney has to be higher than the roof level, and has to be constructed on the wall facing the direction of the Sun. Absorption of heat from the Sun can be increased by using a glazed surface on the side facing the Sun. Heat absorbing material can be used on the opposing ...

  8. Plate heat exchanger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_heat_exchanger

    The total rate of heat transfer between the hot and cold fluids passing through a plate heat exchanger may be expressed as: Q = UA∆Tm where U is the Overall heat transfer coefficient, A is the total plate area, and ∆Tm is the Log mean temperature difference. U is dependent upon the heat transfer coefficients in the hot and cold streams.

  9. Heat exchanger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_exchanger

    Conceptual diagram of a plate and frame heat exchanger A single plate heat exchanger An interchangeable plate heat exchanger directly applied to the system of a swimming pool. Another type of heat exchanger is the plate heat exchanger. These exchangers are composed of many thin, slightly separated plates that have very large surface areas and ...
