DOUBLE-EXPOSURE COLLECTOR SYSTEM FOR SOLAR HEATING APPLICATIONS
Sun: Mankind's Future Source of Energy, pp 1033-1037
1978
Abstract
A retrofit solar water-heating system has been installed in a three-story apartment building at Drexel University. The system employs two conventional collector banks mounted at the latitude angle for Philadelphia of 40° from the horizontal and two double-exposure collectors (DEC's) mounted vertically in mirrored enclosures. Although the DEC units are being used for year-round domestic water heating for the building, they are designed to provide maximum output in the winter and are therefore well-suited to solar space heating applications. The performance of the DEC units relative to conventional collectors has been calculated.
