In this work, a new design of shell and finned tube latent heat storage system was designed,
constructed and tested when it was integrated with the flat plate solar water heater. This …

In the study, the daily and monthly performance of a photovoltaic thermal system integrated
with phase change material is investigated in Shanghai, China. A three-dimensional model …

By integrating non-concentrating solar collectors and air-source heat pumps (ASHP) in
parallel, the water heating system with cascade storage tanks shows great potential for …

China is the second-largest economy country, and the largest country worldwide in total
solar energy system capacity installed. More than 70% of total solar collector capacity …

The thermal performance of a new type of solar water heater system consists of an array of
parabolic trough collectors was studied. In CFD simulation of the system, a practical …

The installation rate of solar water heaters (SWHs) in Chinese urban areas has decreased
significantly, undermining energy conservation and emission reduction goals. On the basis …

The safe and efficient treatment and resource recovery of the large amount of liquid
digestate (LD) produced by biogas plants has become an important factor limiting the …

In this study, a cradle-to-grave life cycle assessment was conducted on several typical
domestic hot water systems across five climatic regions of China. Variations of the climate …

In this paper, a solar water heating system (SWHS) based on 4 m 2 flat plate collectors is
integrated to an office building to ensure the heat demand. The SWHS is equipped with …

Phase change materials (PCMs) contributed to building energy‐saving and thermal comfort
through increasing the thermal capacity of building envelopes. In this study, a phase change …
