4 Objectives Students will be able to describe, in very simple terms, black body absorption and radiation and their relationship to solar thermal applications. Students will be able to list the basic residential applications for solar thermal technology. Source:

5 Objectives Students will be able to discuss the basic requirements for passive solar architectural design. Students will be able to discuss and describe how active solar thermal technology works. Source:

6 Thermal Applications = Using Heat Typical Thermal Applications in Daily Human Living Residential Dwelling Applications: Space Heating Water Heating Cooking

7 Contemporary Thermal Sources The Heat Energy Necessary for Space Heating, Water Heating, and Cooking is typically Converted from: Electricity Natural Gas LPG Fuel Oil Coal Wood Other Combustible Fuels

8 Challenges Regarding our Conventional Sources of Thermal Energy Limited, Finite Supply All (except nuclear-fission sourced electricity) pump CO 2 back into the atmosphere All result in one or more additional, environmental pollutants The cost of all is continually increasing Most are not locally available and must be transported in

9 Moving Heat Energy to Where We Need it Heat is directed and moved via IR Radiation Conduction Convection

10 Conduction, and Radiation

11 Convection Source:

12 Conduction, Convection, and Radiation Source:

13 The Sun as a Source of Thermal Energy Black Body radiation and absorption! We see only reflected light When we see white light, the white surface is reflecting all frequencies of visible light When we see red light, the red surface is only reflecting the red frequency of visible light, and is absorbing all the other frequencies of visible light When a surface appears black it is absorbing all the frequencies of visible light and reflecting none

14 Black Body Radiation and Absorption Black Bodies absorb ALL frequencies At temps below 200 o C, Black Bodies (all bodies) radiate InfraRed frequencies InfraRed radiation is HEAT! Source:

15 Solar Thermal Technologies The basic ideas behind solar thermal energy are: Convert solar radiation into heat energy via Black Body absorption Trap the captured heat energy Limit IR radiation losses Limit Convective losses Limit Conductive losses Direct the captured heat energy into the desired zone or material via IR radiation, and/or convection, and/or conduction

16 Solar Thermal Technologies Solar Space Heating vs. Solar Domestic Hot Water Heating vs. Solar Cooking Passive vs. Active Solar Thermal Applications Flat Plate Solar Collectors vs. Concentrating Solar Collectors

17 Passive Solar Principles: Solar Space Heating Insulate, insulate, insulate (especially the North wall) Orient long axis of building E-W Lots of South facing glazing Thermal storage Nocturnal insulation on South wall Summer shading to avoid seasonal over heating

25 Passive Solar Principles Source:

26 Active Solar Space Heating Principles Same as Passive principles, but Add on external solar collectors Add on fans or pumps to move fluid Air or water or other FLUID Different configurations of heat storage May incorporate heat pumps May be flat-plate or concentrating

30 Active-Solar Space Heating with Liquid Working Fluids Source:

31 Solar Domestic Hot Water Heating Can be active or passive (thermo-siphon) Can be open loop Open loop can be drain-down configured for freeze protection Can be closed loop Closed loop can be drain-back configured for freeze protection Closed loop can be freeze protected by using antifreeze as the working fluid

39 Typical thermosyphon solar water heater TEI Patra: 3-18 July 2006 Intensive program: ICT tools in PV-systems Engineering

40 Active Solar DHW Heating System Design Governed by Need for System Efficiency and Freeze Protection

41 Active Solar Water Heating Source:

42 What type of system would I use in my area? Warm climates systems similar to those shown previously systems will differ in design Cold climates freeze protection becomes critical Indirect systems with heat exchangers Drainback and draindown systems

43 Warm climates Fluid in tank is heated in collector Most common system in temperate climates

44 Warm climates This system is called a thermosiphon system. It does not have pumps, controllers, or any moving parts. Water is heated and the density of the hot versus cold water takes over from there. Works off natural thermosiphon actions in moving the water heated in the collector back to the tank and the cold water in the tank to the collector.

45 Direct circulation system TEI Patra: 3-18 July 2006 Intensive program: ICT tools in PV-systems Engineering

46 Cold climates Freeze protection Reduce Scale Non-potable fluids

47 Cold climates Indirect system with heat exchanger that contains fluids in collector that do not freeze. Heat exchanger is in the water heater.

48 Drain-down system When a freezing condition or a power failure occurs, the system drains automatically by isolating the collector array and exterior piping from the make-up water supply and draining it using the two normally open (NO) valves TEI Patra: 3-18 July 2006 Intensive program: ICT tools in PV-systems Engineering

49 Indirect water heating system TEI Patra: 3-18 July 2006 Intensive program: ICT tools in PV-systems Engineering

50 Drain-back system Circulation continues as long as usable energy is available. When the circulation pump stops the collector fluid drains by gravity to a drain-back tank. TEI Patra: 3-18 July 2006 Intensive program: ICT tools in PV-systems Engineering

51 Cold climates Indirect system with heat exchanger that contains fluids in collector that do not freeze. Heat exchanger is external to the water heater.

52 In this system all the water in the collector drains back into a reservoir. Cold climates Drainback system T M P C PT T Drain Back Tank Solar Tank Cold Supply

53 Cold climates In this system, all the water in the collectors drains out of the collector. Draindown system.

54 Cold climate Another thermosiphon system similar to the one used in warm climates, but this one has a heat exchanger incorporated in the system to protect the collector during freezes. Source:

72 Parabolic Solar Concentrators Reflective Imaging Concentrators Specially-shaped, highly polished surfaces that reflects light rays, focusing them to a very sharp point on the light-source-side of the reflector MANY more W/m 2 into a VERY small mass or space = MUCH higher temperatures. These are all based on the geometry of the parabola. Line focused = HOT single-axis tracking required Point focused = HOTTER dual-axis tracking required
