Comparison of two Different Methods for Solar Combisystems Performance Testing
Abstract
This work is part of the Combisol project which aims to encourage and to promote an improved quality of solar combisystems. Laboratory determination of primary energy savings of such systems is one of the fields investigated within this project. One commercial solar combisystems has been tested according to two available test methods: a components test approach and a global test approach. The expected results are a better knowledge of the limit of each method and an improvement of them to establish a test method for solar combisystems that is well accepted by manufacturers, and can be used by CEN TC 312 to complete the existing standards.
