3 Viessmann Group Founded 1917, 1.4 Billion turnover, 8500 employees

4 Viessmann is one of the leading boiler and renewable energy manufacturers of Europe Boilers from 1, kw with efficiencies up to 109 % for gas, oil and bio-fuels

5 Viessmann has system solutions for heating, hot water and solar energy applications in housing and commercial projects

6 The power source of the earth In less than four hours the sun radiates the annual energy demand of the world s population to the earth. Annual Solar Radiation on Earth Estimated Fossil Fuel Sources Annual Energy Consumption on Earth

7 Solar energy Annual Energy amount (Europe) : Ø 1000 kwh/m²*a Annual Energy amount (UAE) : Ø 2000 kwh/m²*a

8 related to buildings Heat Electricity (direct with PV) Concentrated Solar Power Solar lighting Bio Fuels

9 Solar energy Heat What can we do with heat? - Domestic hot water - Pool heating - Heating support in cold climates - Process heat - Solar cooling with absorption chillers

10 Solar-thermal: Heat through sunshine Vitosol 100 Vitosol 200 Vitosol 300

11 Vitosol 100 Flat collectors

12 Vitosol 200 Evacuated tube collector with copper absorber, direct flow

14 Life expectations of solar collectors 20 years +

15 Life expactations of solar collectors 30 years 35 years

16 Solar thermal hot water generation

17 Large scale solar thermal, Example for a liter/day hot water system

18 Large scale solar thermal, Example for a liter/day hot water system

19 Large scale solar thermal, Example for a liter/day hot water system

20 Solar hot water generation closed loop- open loop differences Closed loop Thermosiphon Thermosiphon is the easiest solution: No power supply, no pump, no control, works everywhere Advantages of closed loop system: No tank on collector, architecturally better installation Hot water resirculation possible, less water losses, no problems with low water quality Better control, higher efficiency, no over night cooling losses Best for large scale solar systems

21 Example: Selection of a Solar cooling system in UAE Hot water (Solar panel): flow rate: 32.5 l/sec Temperature: 115 / 103 C Capacity: 1590 kw Cooling water: flow rate: l/sec Temperature: 38 / 43.6 C Capacity: 2578 kw Chilled water: Flow rate: 48.0 l/sec Temperature: 12 / 7 deg C Capacity: 1000 kw

22 Example: Selection of a Solar cooling system in UAE Delta T and design temperatures for the solar circuit with a single stage absorbtion chiller Δ T 5K
