Simplified Solar Fraction Estimation for Space and Water Heating at DoD Installations.

Abstract

This report contains a set of nomographs which can be used to estimate the average annual solar fraction for solar space and water heating at a large number of DOD facilities. The solar fraction estimated from the nomograph is in close agreement with F-Chart 3.0 and allows for variation of the following parameters: annual load, collector area, collector transmittance-absorption coefficient, and collector overall loss coefficient.
