Solar Air Systems: A Design Handbook

Active solar systems for air heating are a straightforward yet effective way of using solar energy for space heating and tempering ventilation air. They offer some unique advantages over solar water systems, can offer improved comfort and fuller use of solar gains than passive solar systems and are a natural fit with mechanically ventilated buildings.

They can be economical, with short pay-back periods and can act not only as space heating or ventilation air heating but also for water pre-h...
