Technical report on combined solar & heat pump systems with system overview and quality enquiries

Overview of the combined solar thermal and heat pump systems (TR5.1.1)

Evaluation and categorisation of solar thermal and heat pump systems (SHP systems).

Planners; installers; industry; test labs

Review of the testing and rating procedures for solar thermal and theat pump systems and components (TR5.1.2)

Analysis of relevant standards to assess their applicability for component and system testing of SHP products. The review covers three groups of available national and international standards and guidelines.

Planners; installers; industry; test labs

Definition of performance figures for solar and heat pump systems (TR5.1.3)

Defining a set of performance indicators and definition of the system boundaries and boundary conditions under which these indicators are determined in order to be able to compare different SHP systems among themselves, but also with other technologies for heating, cooling and domestic hot water (DHW) preparation.

Planners; installers; industry; test labs

Report on testing procedures for solar and heat pump systems (TR5.1.4)

Reporting on different performance test methods currently being developed, namely new component oriented testing procedure for SHP systems and testing procedure based on a test of the complete system at once.

Planners; installers; industry; test labs

Report on specially designed components for solar and heat pump systems (TR5.1.5)

Validation of a dynamic model for unglazed collectors including condensation.

Planners; installers; industry; test labs

Technical report on the status and requirements for successful implementation of  F&YC for large solar thermal systems

Collection and assessment of available function and yield control concepts and devices for large solar thermal systems (TR5.2.1)

Analysis of the state of the art regarding function and yield control for large solar thermal systems.

Planners; installers; industry; test labs

Recommendations for further needed activities in the field of function and yield control for large soalr thermal systems (TR5.2.2)

Analysis of the required framework conditions for a successful function and yield control for large solar thermal systems's technology development. Providing a set of recommendations to set a basis for a broader public discussion on the topic.

Planners; installers; industry; test labs

Technical report on the requirements for durability and performance test of solar cooling systems

Collated and updated list of solar cooling installations in participating countries (TR5.3.1)

Listing of solar thermal heating and cooling installations spread over the entire world, resulting from a QAIST survey and a previous Task 38 list.

Planners; installers; industry; test labs

Durability issues, maintenance and costs of solar cooling systems (TR5.3.2)

Detailed analysis of the outcome of the questionnaire on durability issues, maintenance and costs of solar cooling systems

Planners; installers; industry; test labs

Review on Testing Procedures and Quality Standards for Thermally Driven Chillers (TR5.3.3)

Review of relevant testing and performance evaluation standards for thermally driven chillers, covering national and international standards, namely standards for testing and rating of thermally driven chillers; standards for performance evaluation of chillers and systems, and; quality labelling schemes.

Planners; installers; industry; test labs

Assessment of the possibility of incorporating solar thermal cooling into EN 12977 series (TR5.3.4)

Analysis of the possibility to incorporate into EN12977 general and performance requirements for solar thermal cooling systems.

Planners; installers; industry; test labs
