Abstract:
Abstract A new type of solar air heater was designed, fabricated, and tested in Baghdad, Iraq winter conditions. The heater consists of two main parts. The horizontal section was filled with the black colored iron chip while the vertical part has five pipes filled with Iraqi paraffin wax. A fan was fixed at the exit of the air. Two cases were studied: when the air moved by natural convection and when forced convection moved it. The studied air heater has proven its effectiveness as it heated the air passing through it to high temperatures. The results manifest that using little air movement makes the temperatures, stored energies, and efficiencies of the two studied cases converge. The suitable solar intensity of Baghdad city makes the use of solar air heater suitable to reduce the electricity and fossil fuels consumption.

Abstract:
An air-conditioning system utilizing solar energy would generally be more efficient, cost wise, if it was used to provide both heating and cooling requirements in the building it serves. Various solar powered heating systems have been tested extensively, but solar powered air conditioning systems have received very little attention. Solar powered absorption cooling systems can serve both heating and cooling requirements in the building it serves. Many researchers have studied the solar absorption air conditioning system in order to make it economically and technically viable. But still, much more research in this area is needed. This paper will help many researchers working in this area and provide them with fundamental knowledge on absorption systems, and a detailed review on the past efforts in the field of solar absorption cooling systems with the absorption pair of lithium-bromide and water. This knowledge will help them to start the parametric study in order to investigate the influence of key parameters on the overall system performance.

Abstract:
Solar water heating system is used to supply hot water all-year-round for a new dormitory building. Flat solar energy collectors are mounted on the roof. The hot water tank and pumps are installed together with the air conditioning equipments in the plant room. Air cooled heat pump is used to provide cooling in summer, and high temperature water from boiler room (in old building) is used as heat source in winter. Usually auxiliary heating is necessary to improve the stability and reliability of solar water heating system. In this case, we take full use of the equipment of air conditioning system instead of electricity as auxiliary heating resources. In this paper, we introduced the design of the solar water heating system and the auxiliary heating method by air conditioning systems. The control strategies to fulfill all the functions and switch between different conditions are also introduced.

Abstract:
The development of products which enable passive solar-energy air-heating to be integrated into the heating strategies of public, commercial and industrial buildings is described. These buildings are, in general, only occupied significantly during the day; consequently the bulk of heating demand coincides with the period of solar gain. In these circumstances collected solar heat should be delivered with the minimum of delay. The design and operation of units which are capable of supplying solar heated air in this manner is outlined. These are passive, naturalcirculation air-heating collectors, also known as natural-convection air-heaters, or thermosyphoning air panels. Four methods of retrofitting such solar collectors to non-domestic buildings have been identified, one of which, the overcladding collector, has not been proposed previously. Problems associated with the successful installation and operation of these units have also been considered. The relative merits of a number of methods of testing passive solarenergy air-heating collectors have been investigated. A method of determining instantaneous collector efficiency based on the measurement of glazing temperature, inlet and outlet air temperature, ambient temperature and insolation has been developed. Three novel design proposals have been presented: i) a collector constructed with the insulation fitted outside, rather than inside, so that the metal body of the collector may provide more symmetrical heating of the air flow than the conventional arrangement, ii) an absorber which consisted of parallel ducts to increase the rate of heat transfer to the air, heating it symmetrically, (iii) a hinged air-deflector for conversion from the heating to the ventilation mode.

Abstract:
Solar energy constitutes one of the main alternatives for facing the energy problems of the future, taking into account the foreseeable depletion of the fossil fuels. Transpired solar air collectors are relatively simple alternatives, which do not need a continuous supervision and are mostly maintenance free. Their life cycle is relatively high, around 25 years, and the total investment can be fully recovered in the short-term. The aim of this master’s thesis is to analyze the feasibility of installing transpired solar air collectors as secondary systems in big industrial buildings, for heating purposes. The collectors would be designed for compensating the heat losses of a building which is mainly heated up by a heat pump system. Precisely, this work tries to evaluate the profitability of installing these collectors in Gävle, taking into account the particularities of this location in the considered study. This project work is focused on testing if these systems can provide enough thermal energy for heating up big-sized industrial buildings. For this purpose, firstly, the heat demand of the building for each month was calculated; secondly, the maximum output from the collector was estimated, using WINSUN simulator; and, finally, the energy difference that had to be covered by the main system was calculated. Once this was done, the yearly running cost for the main system and the total investment for the transpired air solar collector were estimated. Due to the lack of experimental data, the obtained results can only be taken as approximations. All the calculations and estimations have been made using WINSUN, a simulator that has been configured according to the particularities of the project. The results show that the solar collector provides a total thermal output of 29.700 kWh/year (system which has a total investment of 77.000 SEK). The total heat demand of the building is estimated to be of 87.100 kWh/year, being 51.800 kWh/year fulfilled by the heat pump system (which has a yearly running cost of 24.000 SEK/year). The collector has an average efficiency of 51,04%.

Abstract:
Sri Lanka is one of the greatest producers and exporters of quality tea in the world. The tea industry plays a key role in the economy and there is a great interest of continuously improving it in order to stay competitive. The process of drying tea requires thermal energy which currently is supplied through combustion of fuel woods on which the industry is highly dependent. With the rising prices on fuel woods over the past recent years it has become increasingly urgent to find substitutes, or complements to this source of energy. One potential solution would be to utilize solar thermal energy by implementing solar collectors in the tea manufacturing process. Sri Lanka is located close to the equator and has ideal conditions for harnessing solar energy, why solar applications would be highly suitable in this context. This report aims to study an existing simple system of flat plate solar collectors at the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka. The solar collectors are built using local inexpensive material. The objectives are to calculate the collector efficiency and perform a cost analysis in order to determine the potential economic benefits of utilizing solar thermal power as opposed to fuel woods. Finally the report will present suggestions on improvements for the existing collector design, taking the practical and economic feasibility into consideration. The collector efficiency of the existing design was calculated to be approximately 35 % and the energy produced by the flat plate solar collectors was found to be less expensive than combustion of fuel woods, despite the many imperfections of the collector design. Suggestions on refinements include improving the selectivity of the absorber surface with a black chrome coating, equipping the collector with a sun-tracking system, adding obstacles in the collector air duct, using a v-corrugated absorber plate, shifting to downward air blowing, changing heat transfer fluid and using multiple sheets of glass as glazing. Through these relatively simple and cost-effective improvements on the system the collector efficiency could increase substantially, thereby reducing energy costs. Moreover the implementation of solar collectors in the Sri Lankan tea manufacturing process would be beneficial from an environmental perspective.

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to study the energy performance of a building integrated heating and cooling system. The research objectives are to investigate the system operating characters, to develop mathematical models for the heating and cooling systems, to demonstrate the technologies experimentally, to identify the best designs for a combined system and to investigate the cost effectiveness of the system. The main components of the systems are the aluminium plate façade and the building wall behind it, these form a plenum between them and the air is then heated or cooled as it flows through this plenum. Mathematical models were developed based on the energy balance equations and solved by matrix inversion method. These models were then validated with experimental results. The experiments were carried out in the laboratory with a facade area of 2m2. Two designs of facade were tested, i.e. flat and transpired plates. Results showed that the transpired design gave better thermal performance; the system efficiency for the flat plate was only about 30%, whereas it was about 85% for the transpired plate. On the other hand, a cooling system with double plenums was found to be better than a single plenum. Thus, a transpired plate with two plenums was identified as the best design for space heating and cooling. The cooling efficiency was nearly 2.0 even at low solar radiation intensity. A simulation study was carried out by assuming a 40m2 of façade was installed on an office building in London. The yearly energy saving was estimated as 10,877kWh, which is equivalent to 5,874kgCO2/year of emission avoidance. The system is calculated to cost about £70/m2, and for a discount rate of 5% and 30 years of lifetime, the payback period for this system would be less than a years.

Abstract:
The finite element method is used to predict numerically steady state, two-dimensional laminar and turbulent thermal buoyant and convective recirculating flows. The governing equations are solved by the finite element method using Galerkin Weighting functions, with velocity, pressure, and temperature as dependent variables. Turbulent separating, recirculating flow in the complex geometry of a room with variable inlets, outlets and convective chimney ducts is investigated. The room is ventilated/air-conditioned utilising the solar energy via a flat plate collector and solar absorption airconditioning system. For this purpose the Navier-Stokes, continuity and general energy equations are solved in a coupled form and in an uncoupled form and solutions are compared amongst themselves and with the experimental results of hot wire anemometers and thermocouples. The parts where turbulent flows occurred especially in the convective duct and the room, the flows are analysed using the Prandtl- Kolmöjorov model to depict the effective viscosity. The analogy between thermal and momentum diffusivity via Prandtl number is used to depict the turbulent conductivity from the turbulent viscosity. The length scale of turbulence is specified as an algebraic function of position from empirical data and experience of other researchers . The kinetic energy is expressed as a function of velocity at the nodes together with the turbulence intensity which varies from ~5% - ~20%. This turbulence model is used to predict the flow including its recirculations in the solar ventilated/air-conditioned room, and the fully turbulent convective channel. The analysis includes temperature and heat transfer predictions in this complex geometry of combined free and forced convection, together with buoyancy effects and turbulent transport and recirculations. Results obtained are compared with the experimental data which showed very good agreement.

Abstract:
The European Union has an ongoing commitment to reducing CO2 emission as highlighted by its agreement at the Kyoto Summit. One approach to achieving these reductions would be to develop alternative energy sources for major energy demanding sectors. In the EU, about 40% of all energy consumed is associated with buildings and of this, about 60% is utilised in the housing sector. A major part of the energy demand of buildings could be met by utilising renewable energy sources, e.g. solar energy. Existing large-scale plants for power generation prevent efficient utilisation of the waste hot water produced. This means that to meet electricity demand, vast quantities of fossil fuels are burnt releasing unwanted pollutants (e.g., CO2 and NOx) into the atmosphere. Over the last decade, small-scale CHP plants have been introduced for many applications with proven environmental and economic benefits. In addition, solar energy has been used to generate electricity and provide hot water in conjunction with the CHP plants. Investigation of a hybrid heat pipe solar collector/CHP system was carried out in this research. The system is powered by solar and gas energy as well as the boiler waste heat to provide electricity and heating for residential buildings. Compared to the relevant system configurations, this system has the following innovative features: The solar collector was integrated with exhaust flue gas channels that allowed both solar energy and waste heat from exhaust gas to be utilised. Heat pipes as high efficiency heat transfer devices were incorporated in the collector panel. Both miniature and normal heat pipes were investigated, and this resulted in two types of collectors, e.g., thin membrane heat pipe solar collector, and hybrid heat pipe solar collector, to be produced for this application. A compact, lightweight turbine was applied in this system. Novel refrigerants, including n-pentane and hydrofluoroethers (HFEs), were employed as the working fluids for the CHP system. Use of the system would save primary energy of approximately 3,150kWh per year compared to the conventional electricity and heating supply systems, and this would result in reduction of CO2 emission of up to 1.5 tonnes. The running cost of the proposed system would also be lower. The research initially investigated the thermal performance of several heat pipes, including micro/miniature heat pipes, normal circular and rectangular heat pipes, with/without wicks. An analytical model was developed to evaluate the heat transport capacity for these heat pipes. A miniature heat pipe with parallel piped channel geometry was proposed. The variation of heat transport capacity for either micro/miniature or normal heat pipes with operation temperature, liquid fill level, inclination and channel geometry were investigated. Investigation of the operating characteristics of the selected heat pipes, e.g., two miniature and one mini heat pipes, and two normal heat pipes, was then carried out using both the numerical technique and experimental testing. It was found that the results from tests were in good agreement with the numerical predictions when the test conditions were close to the simulation assumptions. The research work further involved the design, modelling, construction and tests of two innovative heat pipe solar collectors, namely, the thin membrane heat pipe solar collector and the hybrid heat pipe solar collector. A computer model was developed to analyse the heat transfer in the collectors. Two collector efficiencies, η and η1, were defined to evaluate their thermal performance, which were all indicated as the function of a general parameter (tmean-ta)/In. Effects of the top cover, manifold as well as flue gas temperature and flow rate (for hybrid collector only) on collector efficiencies were investigated using the computer model developed. Laboratory tests were carried out to validate the modelling predictions and experimentally examine the thermal performance of the collectors. Comparison was made between the modelling and testing results, and the reasons for error formation were analysed. The research then considered the issues of the micro impulse-reaction turbine, which was another part of the integrated system. The structure configuration, coupling pattern with the generator as well as internal geometry contour of the turbine were described. The velocity, pressure and turbulent kinetic energy of the flow in the turbine were determined using numerical CFD prediction. In addition, experimental tests were carried out using a prototype system. The results of CFD simulation and testing show good agreement. This indicates that CFD can be used as a tool of optimizing turbine geometry and determining operating conditions. The research finally focused on the integrated system which brought the heat pipe solar collector, boiler and micro turbine together. The individual components, configurations and layout of the system were illustrated. Theoretical analysis was carried out to investigate thermodynamic cycle and heat transfer contained in the combined system, which is based on the assumption that the system operated on a typical Rankine cycle powered by both solar and gas energy. Tests for the prototype system was carried out to realistically evaluate its performance. Two types of turbine units were examined; one is an impulse-reaction turbine, and the other is a turbo-alternator. The turbo-alternator was found to be too small in capacity for this system thereby affecting its output significantly. The micro impulse reaction turbine was considered a better option. A typical testing showed that the majority of heat required for the turbine operation came from the boiler (7.65kW), and very little (0.23kW) from the solar collector. The gas consumption was 8.5kW. This operation resulted in an electricity output and domestic hot water generation, which were 1.34kW and 3.66kW respectively. The electrical efficiency was 16% and the thermal efficiency was 43%, resulting in an overall efficiency of 59%. Increasing the number of the collectors used would result in reduced heat output from the boiler. This would help in improving system performance and increasing efficiencies. In this application, number of collectors used would be 4 as the flue gas flow rate would only be sufficient to provide 4 to 5 such collectors for heat recovery. The research resulted in the proposal of another system configuration. The innovative concept is illustrated in Chapter 8, and its key technical issues are discussed.

Abstract:
This thesis presents an optimisation approach and techno-economic evaluation tool for a system consisting of a transpired solar air collector and air source heat pump in a series arrangement. The thesis also investigates the application of the developed tool for feasibility study of a solar heat pump system for a group of three multi-family houses located in Ludvika, Sweden.   Transpired solar air collector is used in combination with an air source heat pump to meet space heating and hot water demand for the defined location. Moreover, the solar pre-heated fresh air is used as a heat source for the heat pump evaporator to improve its coefficient of performance. Solar heat pump systems are extensively studied by numerous researchers, However the analyses about techno-economic feasibility of air source heat pump with transpired air solar collector are still lacking. Therefore, an optimisation tool is developed based on the non-linear programming for coherent operation strategy and variation in collector flow rate. The effect of optimisation along with the techno-economic feasibility for a demo case residential building in Sweden is then preliminary studied based on the defined boundary conditions.   The analysis is gradually progressed through several phases of thesis starting from system description and followed by tool methodology and case study. A pre-developed dynamic simulation model is used to obtain the space heating and domestic hot water demand of the building. The electricity expenses of the existing system are evaluated and the results are used as a reference to compare the savings resulting from the installation of transpired solar collectors with gross area of 50 m2.   The results are presented as a defined economic indicator such as payback period. The results of the simulation reflect that the installation of 50 m2solar collector area leads to 3 % savings compared to the defined reference case, with a simple payback of 22 years. Moreover, results also indicate that variation of collector flow rate and operation timings are effective strategies to maximise the system savings. The analysis reveals that the optimisation can result in up to 60 % additional savings in comparison to a fixed flow rate case.   The developed tool has a potential use for feasibility check at an earlier stage of the installation project, without the need for extensive system simulations. Moreover, the tool overcomes the shortcoming of various available tools such as RETscreen solar air heating project model, which are not designed to evaluate the performance of solar collectors with heat pump systems.

Abstract:
Relative to solar water heaters, solar air heaters have received relatively little investigation and have resulted in few commercial products. However, in the context of a Humidification-Dehumidification (HDH) Desalination cycle, air heating accounts for advantages in cycle performance. Solar collectors can be over 40% of an air-heated HDH system’s cost, thus design optimization is crucial. Best design practices and sensitivity to material properties for solar air heaters are investigated, and absorber solar absorptivity and glazing transmissivity are found to have the strongest effect on performance. Wind speed is also found to have an impact on performance. Additionally a well designed, and likely low cost, collector includes a double glazing and roughened absorber plates for superior heat transfer to the airstream. A collector in this configuration performs better than current collectors with an efficiency of 58% at a normalized gain of 0.06 K m2/W.

Abstract:
The aim of this work is to present the energy, exergy and thermoeconomic analysis of a hypothetical solar air heating plant located in Zaragoza, Spain. The plant consists mainly of four parts: 1) a field of solar collectors, 2) a water tank storage, 3) a heat exchanger where heat energy is transferred from the collectors to the water storage tank, and 4) a water to air heater heat exchanger. Circulating pumps, pipes and fan have also been considered. In a previous work of the authors the design variables of the system were optimally determined from a conventional economic approach. In this paper, a productive structure for the plant has been proposed and energy losses and exergy destructions (or irreversibility) have been calculated. Energy and exergy efficiencies have also been determined for each of the components and the whole system. Moreover, the costs of internal flows have been dynamically calculated for the time period under consideration. The very specific features of solar heating systems: thermal energy storage as well as continuous variation of solar radiation and energy demand (seasonal and throughout the day) impose important difficulties, which in our opinion have not been deeply studied yet in current methodologies. The major conclusions are: i) energy, exergy and thermoeconomic analyses following a dynamic approach is very sensitive to the reference environment (ambient air temperature), ii) the same productive structure can and must be used for all of them, iii) solar energy should be considered as a high quality source and thermodynamic efficiency of solar heating plants is very low (2.5% in our case), and iv) a dynamic analysis of the process of cost formation through the different components reveals interesting and valuable information about the physics and economics of solar energy conversion systems.
