Thermal Analysis and Modelling of Thermal Storage in Solar Water Heating Systems

Thermal Performance Rating of Solar Water Heating Systems in ASEAN

Solar water heating (SWH) systems are gaining popularity in ASEAN in the midst of increasing number of affluent population in society and environmental concerns from seemingly unchanged reliance on fossil-based fuels. The penetration of these systems and technologies into ASEAN markets is a welcome development; however there is a need for the method of assessment of their thermal performances. ...

Experimental Studies on Phase Change Material-Based Thermal Energy Storage System for Solar Water Heating Applications

Abundantly available solar energy utilization for domestic and industrial applications is hindered because of its intermittent nature. The thermal energy storage (TES) system using both sensible and latent heat has many advantages like large heat storage capacity in a unit volume and its isothermal behavior during the charging and discharging processes. Because of these advantages, in recent ye...

THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Thermal Modelling of Water-Based Floor Heating Systems

Low temperature water-based concrete embedded floor heating systems are studied. The utilisation of low quality heat sources is facilitated by low temperature heating. Theoretical models which describe the transient thermal floor heating operation constitute the basis for the analysis. The combination of building, floor heating element, heat gains and control system is described by a set of the...
