Method of solar heating and cooling
TLDR
In this article, a method of solar heating and cooling in a building of the type having insulated opaque and vision glass areas, including orienting the vision glass so as to avoid solar exposure, while shading said vision glass with a series of heat collecting panels and circulating fluid in adsorbent communication with said collectors for use in winter heating and summer cooling systems.Abstract:
Method of solar heating and cooling in a building of the type having insulated opaque and vision glass areas, including orienting the vision glass so as to avoid solar exposure, while shading said vision glass with a series of heat collecting panels and circulating fluid in adsorbent communication with said collectors for use in winter heating and summer cooling systems. The method is distinguished both in its orienting of shading, according to latitude, as well as blocking or cutting off of circulating fluid from said collectors, except under conditions of solar exposure.read more
