Design Considerations for Solar Industrial Process Heat Systems


Book Description

This document lists items that should be considered in each aspect of the design of a solar industrial process heat system. These design considerations are based on information obtained from the design and operation of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) solar industrial process heat field tests. The collector technologies covered are flat-plate, evacuated tube, and line focus, since these systems have been employed to date in the DOE field test program. This document should be highly informative to the designer lacking solar system experience, since a glossary of technical terms used in the report in included.

A Detailed Design Procedure for Solar Industrial Process Heat Systems


Book Description

"Design Approaches for Solar Industrial Process Heat Systems," published in September 1982, addresses the complete spectrum of problems associated with the design of a solar IPH system. This work presents a highly general method, derived from computer simulations, for determining actual energy delivered to the process load. Also covered are siting and selection of subsystem components, cost estimation, safety and environmental considerations, and installation concerns. This paper is intended to give an overview of the design methodology developed and provide some specific examples of technical issues addressed.
