Solar Domestic Hot Water Patrick Patterson July 16, 2003 Topics Overview Types of heating systems Hardware System applications Financial analysis Economics Recommendations Case studies Four Types of Heating Systems Open Closed Loop Design Characteristics Open Loop System Comparison Closed Loop System Comparison Passive Systems Is very heavy Ugly to look at Will not freeze Utilizes thermosyphon Not very efficient—especially in low intensity sunlight Open Loop SystemHousehold Application Open Loop SystemSwimming Pool Application Open loop drain back systems pumps pool water up to panels and gravity brings it back down Closed Loop SystemHousehold Application Closed Loop SystemPool Application SDHW Hardware Components Heat Exchanger Solar Panels Differential Controller Heat Exchangers Used to transfer heat from exchange medium to water Solar Panels Solar Panels Differential Controllers Sensors Glycol (Antifreeze) Circulation Pumps Pumps circulate water through solar panels. They are activated by the differential controller when it senses too large a differential between hot water supply and water coming from panels. Pipes Pipes should be well insulated to maximize efficiency Preferably made from copper SDHW Economics 30% of household energy consumption goes to heating water Solar water heaters pay for themselves in 3-10 years! (depending on usage) Total cost over product life is less than all other water heating systems Oregon offers a tax credit of up $1,500 for residential solar energy projects. Additional property value resulting from installation of solar equipment is exempt from property taxes under Oregon state law until December 31, 2012 Calculation of Hot Water Costs (gallons/wk) x (52 wks./yr.) = gallons/yr. (69.5) x (52) = 3,614 (gallons/yr.) x (8.34 lbs./gal.) = lbs/yr. (3,614) x (8.34) = 30,140.8lbs/yr. (lbs/yr.) x ((temp. rise x (1 btu/of/lb h20)) = btus/yr (30,1
