摘要:

The delicate interplay between energy conservation with direct solar gain (passive energy) and active solar systems for space heating in solar houses is discussed. The following design parameters are analyzed, taking into consideration energy conservation and solar gain:

摘要:

Many people would agree that the most important requirement of a solar water heater is not an exceptionally high thermal efficiency, but rather a good long-term reliability. How one can ensure that a solar heating system will give a long and trouble free service, however, is not obvious. One move in the right direction has been the issuing of a British Standard Code of Practice, but because it should not inhibit development in a new industry this document cannot be sufficiently restrictive to preclude the installation of unreliable systems. Another possibility would be the introduction of durability tests, but these must be simple and cheap or their very existence might have an adverse effect in the market place.

摘要:

A 3m diameter model of a two bladed Musgrove vertical axis windmill has been tested in the British Aerospace wind tunnel at Filton. Tunnel constraints were kept to a minimum by using a low flow blockage and appropriate corrections were applied to the measurements.

摘要:

The detailed design of a very well insulated low energy dwelling utilising off-peak electricity was made in conjunction with the Electricity Council Research Centre. Monitoring of the dwelling took place from September 1977 to August 1978.

摘要:

Glauber's salt has been melt-refreeze cycled to store heat at 90.3°F in a laboratory sized rolling cylinder surrounded by a calorimeter. The quantitative results show:

摘要:

Domestic buildings absorb about 1/4 to 1/3 of the UK's primary energy. New houses can be designed which use half, or even considerably less than half of the energy consumed by their contemporaries. Typical examples are the Danish Zero Energy House and the Saskatchewan House. Unfortunately the U.K. building industry and its clients generally ignore long-run costs, in favour of lower initial capital investment. Such a position favours insulation and passive solar techniques, as opposed to more complex methods, for reducing network energy consumption in buildings.

摘要:

The world potential for geothermal energy represents a substantial augmentation to energy supplies at costs competitive with petroleum at present prices. About 20 nations have geothermal projects or experiments underway and at least another 25 nations have geothermal potential. Current uses of geothermal energy include space heating and cooling, greenhouses. Soil warming, kiln drying, and electric energy production. Numerous new applications appear to be feasible, such as environmentally controlled livestock production, absorption refrigeration, and industrial processing in such areas as pulp and paper, wood chemicals, sugar beets, and corn products. Geothermal energy can be applied with state-of-the-art technology, with improvement in corrosion control and down-hole pumping. Incentives may be needed to stimulate geothermal investment to overcome the higher front-end costs of geothermal installations.
