Effects of Different Target Solar Fractions on Providing Heat Required for Space Heating, Sanitary Hot Water, and Swimming Pool in Iran: A Case Study in Cold Climate
Table 2
Recent studies in the field of SWHs in Iran and the world.
Environmental, technical, and financial study of evacuated tube SWH in seven cities from different geographical areas of India
At least 50% of incentives should be provided by the government to increase the implementation of such a system in this country with the interest of households.
Use of TSOL and MeteoSyn software packages for SWH in a residential apartment at 37 stations in Algeria
If SWH is used in 37 stations, 150160 kWh of thermal energy will be generated to heat for space heating and 99861 kWh for sanitary hot water, which will reduce 56783 kg of annual CO2 emissions.
The provision of sanitary hot water and space heating needs for a four-person family in 10 Canadian provinces was examined. Feasibility analysis was conducted by T ∗ SOL Pro 5.5 software and radiation data were provided by by MeteoSyn software.
The most suitable station in terms of using SWHs is Regina, which provides 35% of the total heat for space heating and sanitary hot water purposes.
The use of home-scale SWHs was examined for 45 stations in Turkey. The technical and environmental analysis was performed by commercial software TSOL PRO 5.5 on two types of flat plate water heaters and evacuated tube.
The results showed that evacuated tube performance is better than flat plate in all stations.
Design of a solar water heating system with seasonal thermal energy storage and a heat pump for a villa with an area of 192 m2 in Tehran
All the heating energy required for the villa is obtained with a solar collector level of 46 m2, a tank capacity of about 2850 m3, an insulation thickness of 55 cm, and a required heat pump performance coefficient of about 9.02.
