Study of the solar combisystems for different types of building construction in Algiers climate
Abstract
This paper presents a dynamic simulation for the solar combisystems for producing hot water and space heating. The type of building detached house for the region of Algiers was studied. Three different constructions were examined (light walls, medium heavy walls and heavy walls), where the difference between them is the weight of the construction and the insulation level. In this study the thermal performance of solar combisystems was evaluated by the TRANSOL software based on a dynamic simulation (calculation with time steps of 1 hour) is used, this tool allows to size thermal solar systems using the power of the transient simulation tool TRNSYS.
