На английском языке. A report within IEA Heating and Cooling Program – Task 7, 1982, 107 pages.
The primary purpose of the distribution subtask is to provide significant technical and economical data for the design of central solar heating plants. A secondary purpose is to transfer knowledge about heat distribution by means of hot water to countries where the use of district heating is not so common.
We have found that broadening our subtask report in this field increases the value of the report. Thus we hope that part of the information given here w i l l be of use for other applications as
well as solar plants.
The distribution system in a CSHPSS interconnects solar collectors with heat storage and heat storage with consumers. The distribution system starts at the point where the heat from all
solar collectors is concentrated, does not include auxiliary equipment for the heat storage and ends where the heat is delivered to connected buildings. It comprises all necessary equipment such as pumps, compensators, valves, heat meters etc.
Hot water is the only method of heat distribution considered.
