Abstract
SYNOPSIS The design of buildings to provide a suitable thermal environment is discussed and the reasons for artificial heating or cooling introduced. The problem of sizing a solar-powered cooling plant is investigated. An iterative method of estimating heat flow and resultant temperatures in buildings subject to fluctuating heat loads is described. A model is developed to allow investigation of the performance of a solar collector and thermal storage system and some of the basic relationships between performance and physical parameters are determined. An iterative method of predicting the cooling output from a lithium bromide-water absorption refrigeration plant having variable heat input is described. The design of a solar collector/thermal storage) absorption cooler system, its performance on a particular building and its fine tuning are examined.
