Title: Colorado State University program for developing, testing, evaluating and optimizing solar heating systems. Project status report for the months of April and May 1996

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/248687· OSTI ID:248687

The Colorado State University Solar Energy Applications Laboratory is currently testing several solar domestic hot water heating systems. The experimental systems are fully instrumented to yield data appropriate for in-depth analyses of performance. Indoor testing of the horizontal-tank thermosyphon system under investigation has been completed. Current work involves outdoor testing of the system and further analysis of the heat exchanger calculations used in the TRNSYS model of the system.
