SOLAR WATER AND SPACE-HEATING SYSTEMS
Abstract
Among the energy sources alternative to fossil fuels, renewable energy sources such as solar garner the public?s attention, as they are available and have fewer adverse effects on the environment than do fossil fuels. Solar heating systems are a type of renewable energy technology that has been increasingly used in the past decade across Europe to provide heating, air-conditioning, and domestic hot water (DHW) for buildings. This paper provides a briefly review of the available heating technologies assisted by solar energy and their recent advances. Thus, the paper describes the main types of solar space and water heating systems, concentrating on classifications, system components, and operation principles. It is also focused on active and combisystems. Additionally, some installation, operation, maintenance and control instructions for solar heating systems are analysed and examples of DHW systems and combisystems application are presented.
