1.2 Background <strong>and</strong> literature review 37<br />

Simulations indicated that <strong>the</strong>re are many advantages for <strong>the</strong> considered <strong>solar</strong> system in<br />

comparison with <strong>the</strong> utilization <strong>of</strong> electric energy. Moreover, <strong>the</strong> authors concluded that<br />

<strong>the</strong> tested plant can be clearly justified when fossil fuel consumption is dramatically<br />

reduced.<br />

The Dahm, with co-workers (Dahm, et al., 1998), tested system, which consisted <strong>of</strong> an<br />

electrical auxiliary storage heater with a volume <strong>of</strong> 750 litres, internal heat exchangers <strong>and</strong><br />

tempering valves. Fig. 1.15 presents four different storage considered systems.<br />

Investigations were carried out on a statistically generated six-day test sequence <strong>and</strong> a <strong>solar</strong><br />

collector simulator under conditions similar to those in Sweden.<br />

Fig. 1.15: The schematic layout <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> four configurations considered in <strong>the</strong> Dahm (1998) experiments.<br />

An acceptable accuracy rate (relative <strong>and</strong> absolute difference) between <strong>the</strong> measured <strong>and</strong><br />

calculated energy transfer for <strong>solar</strong> <strong>and</strong> load heat exchangers was obtained. The authors<br />

concluded that when using a real wea<strong>the</strong>r database, <strong>the</strong> <strong>solar</strong> fraction is about 10 % lower<br />

than <strong>the</strong> measured value based on <strong>the</strong> considered six-day test system for <strong>the</strong> summer<br />

period.<br />
