1、Unit TenComfort HeatingHeating SystemA steam (heating) system uses the vapor phase of water to supply heat or kinetic energy through a piping system. As a source of heat, steam can heat a conditioned space with suitable terminal heat transfer equipment such as fan coil units, unit heaters, radiators
2、, and convectors (finned tube or cast iron), or steam can heat through a heat exchanger that supplies hot water or some other heat transfer medium to the terminal units.Water systems that convey heat to or from a conditioned space or process with hot water are frequently called hydronic heating syst
3、ems. The water flows through piping that connects a boiler, water heater to suitable terminal heat transfer units located at the space or process.Classified by flow generation, hydronic heating systems may be (1) gravity systems, which use the difference in density between the supply and return wate
4、r columns of a circuit or system to circulate water; or (2) forced systems, in which a pump, usually driven by an electric motor, maintains the flow.Cast-iron RadiatorExpansion TankElectric BoilerRelief ValvePumpReturn PipeCold Water FillSupply PipeRadiatorIn the direct-return system, the length of
5、supply and return piping through the subcircuits is unequal, which may cause unbalanced flow rates and require careful balancing to provide each subcircuit with design flow. Ideally, the reverse-return system provides nearly equal total lengths for all terminal circuits.Solar Altitude and Solar Azim

8、Aperture (Collector) The large glass (window) area through which sunlight enters the building. Absorber The hard, darkened surface of the storage element. Thermal mass The materials that retain or store the heat produced by sunlight. Distribution The method by which solar heat circulates from the co

Factors
11、such as cloud cover and geographical location affect the total amount of solar energy received. 14. This is possible because ordinary glass can transmit the shorter wavelength, visible parts of the sunlight while at the same time preventing the passage of the longer wavelength, invisible heat waves.

Separate from the more obvious uses of energy from the sun, such as drying food and warming people, the most common direct use of solar ener
13、gy is in a greenhouse.15. To get the most from solar energy, a system must be assembled to collect the low concentration of solar energy efficiently and store the heat energy to use at night and on cloudy days.17. This data can be obtained from a pyronometer, a device that measures insolation (energ
14、y from the sun) in Btu per square foot per hour.proposed: 被提议的reading: 读数 carry away: 带走pyronometer: 日射强度计 insolation: 日射能量16. Designing a solar installation requires precise information on the amount of solar energy available at the proposed location.18. Heat flow readings can be compared to insolation data to show how efficiently the collector is operation; that is, how much of the available energy is being carried away by
