Abstract

This chapter provides a description of 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. Important information on the space-heating/cooling load calculations and the selection of the solar thermal systems are discussed. The f-chart method applicable to evaluate space and water heating in many climates and conditions and Transient System Simulation (TRNSYS) program is briefly described. Additionally, some installation, operation, and maintenance instructions for solar heating systems are analyzed, and examples of DHW systems and combisystems application are presented. Finally, valuable information on the solar district heating and solar energy use for industrial applications is provided.
