- Abstract
- This paper includes a detailed description of the hot-water systems, experimental test results, and comparisons with computer predictions using the f-Chart method. The system configurations include an evacuated-tube air system with a cross-flow heat exchanger and two storage tanks, a single-tank direct system, a double-tank direct system, a single-tank indirect system with a wrap-around heat exchanger, a double-tank indirect system with a coil-in-tank heat exchanger, and a thermosyphon system.
