Abstract

An outline is given of a response factor method for generalizing dynamic performance of low-temperature solar energy utilization devices, on the basis of a representative set of experimental test data. The method does not require detailed knowledge of system parameters and is amenable to hand calculation. The time-dependent input function combines solar radiation and ambient temperature in the form of a time series. A natural circulation-type solar-water heater and a basin-type solar still are discussed as examples of the application of the method.
