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 ...

This paper presents the numerical modeling of the thermo-energetic behavior of solar air heaters with a porous matrix to enhance the heat transfer from the absorber plate to the circulating air. The porous matrix was modeled ...
