Solar Energy Heat Pump Systems for Heating and Cooling Buildings

By Stanley Francis Gilman

Book Overview

A thorough presentation and "state of the art," this book grew out of a recent workshop held at The Pennsylvania State University cosponsored by the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc. The objectives of the workshop were to bring together researcher, consulting engineers, product development engineers, manufacturers, public utility representatives, and the interested public to exchange information and ideas on this important topic. The book includes: status reports on NSF and ERDA funded projects, descriptions and discussions of recent designs and applications, presentations of equipment and performance characteristics, public utility viewpoints on systems potentials, an explanation of the present federal programs, and an identification of future research and development needs.
