The present work analyzes the technical feasibility of solar-assisted heat pumps for swimming pool heating in South Brazil. The methodology is based on computer simulations for four configurations of heating systems for ...

A proper assessment of heating systems for swimming pools should evaluate the compromise between comfortlevel and the willingness to pay for it. The present work presents a multi-objective optimization of indirect solarassisted ...

In this work a study of the influence of thermal tank geometry in solar heating systems were done using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) resources. Initially bringing a literature review of studies already carried out ...

A new pulsed-flow design of hose-based solar collector is presented, which uses a long hose connected to district-grid water in the same way that the basic hose design does. But on contrary that this last, here the exit ...

Thermosyphons are devices with great potential for application in sustainable systems such as solar collectors for heating water for use in homes or industry. The high efficiency in various heating systems is due to the ...

This work presents a study how to spread a low-cost technology for water heating using solar energy, focusing on low-income communities. Discusses how the use of electric showers is a major consumer of electricity in a ...
