Solar Thermal Systems for Hot Water Provision

Practical introduction to solar thermal system design and installation for newcomers and those who want to deepen their knowledge.

In this seminar you will gain an insight into all stages of solar thermal projects - from design and installation through to commissioning, operation and maintenance. You will learn about different system configurations and will carry out system design and simulation. It includes energy and feasibility assessment, site analysis and an evaluation of prospective power yields using suitable simulation soft ware. The course has a high practical element - you will learn about installation and commissioning through a number of exercises with solar thermal components. Several training rigs with industry standard solar thermal components are available for a large variety of practical exercises or for closer inspection. The course is rounded off with an economic analysis of solar thermal projects.

Excursion

Field trips to existing projects will highlight installation issues and typical problems and pitfalls of real systems.
