CCHP Solar Heat Collectors
Abstract
Using renewable energy sources besides fossil fuels in CCHP systems increases the capabilities of this new technology. In this chapter solar heat in particular is studied for use in CCHP systems. A solar collector is coupled with the CCHP cycle and a method is proposed to determine the optimum direction and size of the collector in five climates.
