Incorporate Design of SWH System with High-Rise Residential Building in Northern Guangxi Province - Principle of Design and Calculation

Abstract

The SWH system, which refers to solar water heating system, is getting popular in recent years. Despite the wide range of application, the incorporate design of SWH system with high-rise residential building stays problematic due to the lack of comprehensive design and calculation system, there is much to be improved in terms of programming, system and parameter selection, calculation system and the management of the SWH system. This paper mainly discusses the principle of design and calculation of SWH system, a real high-rise residential building project in the city of Guilin is set as an example .With the help of it, the design of SWH system in the stage of blueprint, the selection of hot water system and climate data, the calculation method of SWH system, and the importance and necessity of using monthly-based data to design the SWH system will be elaborated in detail. This paper also expects to be helpful to the construction of other SWH projects in China.
