Comparison of Experimental and Simulated Thermal Ratings of Drain-Back Solar Water Heaters

Autor: William S. Duff, P. J. Schaefer, Jane H. Davidson, W. T. Carlson, William A. Beckman, Sanford A. Klein

Publikováno v: Journal of Solar Energy Engineering. 115:101-105

Short-term experimental tests of drain-back solar water heaters are compared to ratings obtained using TRNSYS to determine if computer simulations can effectively replace laboratory thermal ratings of solar domestic hot water heating systems. The eff
