Test Plant and Development of Tools for Design of Combi-Heating Systems for Large Buildings
Abstract
In design, control and installation of combined heating systems with solar energy utilization various tools are required in assuring rationality and cost effectiveness. A project was therefore initiated to develop such tools involving (a) building of a full scale plant for tests of combined heating systems containing solar collectors, pellet boilers, heat pumps and heat stores, (b) evaluation of system performance for some combined heating systems with varying control strategies through measurement, and (c) development of a user-friendly data soft ware tool for evaluating system performance of the kind of combined heating systems studied.
