Heating of buildings

A theoretical discussion of the heat pump appeared in the Journal of the Franklin Institute in I 886. T. G. N. Haldane of Scotland comprehensively pursued the application of heat pumps to the heating of buildings after the mid-1920s. Haldane tested air-to-watcr heat pump systems in his home and concluded that... 

For the heating of buildings the heat of adsorption can be used in the adsorption mode. Depending on the used adsorbent and the desorption and adsorption conditions temperatures up to 160 ° C can be reached. Under certain desorption conditions thermal energy can be delivered to the buildings heating system in the charging mode as well.

Results from hierarchical agglomerative cluster analysis according to the algorithm of WARD (see Section 5.3) are illustrated as a dendrogram in Fig. 7-14. Distinction of the months in which the heating of buildings has a large influence from the summer months is clearly demonstrated. November and December of the second year of the in-...

Various simulation models for solar processes have been reported. They differ mainly in the assumptions made and strategies employed to solve the model equations. A majority of the models refer to solar heating [115 117]. One widely used simulation program is the TRNSYS [56,118]. The /-chart method for solar heating of buildings is also well known [56,119,120]. Other relevant references are design of...
