The theme is topical since it is linked not only to its economic advantages, but above all to considerations relating to environmental protection. Indeed, the operation of water heating systems, industrial or domestic, by this solar energy, is characterised by the absence of polluting discharges (fumes containing CO2 and Nox), radioactive dangers and bulky waste (nuclear centre). Overall, this book deals with the description of solar energy sources (thermal and photovoltaic), the structures of innovative water heating systems by these energy sources, the thermal and electrical modelling of water heating and the estimation of the yields of the different proposed systems. The proposed knowledge makes it possible to discover the field of renewable energy and to have knowledge of the applications of innovative solar heating systems currently marketed or under development in research laboratories. Also, it allows young researchers, doctoral students, academics and engineers to innovate in the field of solar energy and to develop efficient and hybrid solar water heating systems (thermal and photovoltaic energies). The experimental results, numerical simulations and economic studies proposed will be used by design offices to size and propose the appropriate installations for industrial and domestic applications.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface; Water Heating with a Multi-Stage Hybrid Solar System MSDH; Adoption Potential, Thermal Engineering and Economic Viability of Solar Water Heating Systems; Daily Comparison Energy and Exergy and Energy Analysis and Thermal Energy Storage Performance of Solar Collectors; Steam Generation for Process Applications Using Solar Water Heating Enabled by Nanofluids; Influence of Nano-Enhanced Phase Change Material (NEPCM) on the Performance of Solar Water Heater; Thermal Model and Simulations of Solar Water Heating; Thermal Performance Evaluation of a Modified Solar Water Heater Integrated With Parabolic Trough Concentrator; Hydrogen Production and Space Heating Using Water Heated by Solar Radiation; Photovoltaic Solar Water Heating System; Potential Techniques for Thermal Performance Enhancement for Solar Water Heaters; Humidification-Dehumidification Desalination Through Solar Water Heating System; Influence of Various Nanofluids on the Performance of Solar Water Heaters; Index.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886197682519,"sku":"9781536193206","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"approved-document-o-overheating-2021-edition-9781914124808","title":"Approved Document O: Overheating (2021 edition)","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Approved Document provides guidance on how to comply with Part O to Schedule 1 to the Building Regulations covering overheating mitigation requirements and applies to new residential buildings only.

Moreover, they have presented householders with an opportunity to reduce their heating bills.  Heat pumps can heat a building by 'pumping' heat from either the ground or the air outside: an intriguing process which utilizes principles that are somewhat analogous to those employed in the domestic refrigerator.  Armed with the practical information contained in these pages, homeowners will have the necessary knowledge to take advantage of this potentially low-carbon technology to heat their properties. Now in an updated new edition, Heat Pumps for the Home describes what a heat pump is, how it works, the different methods of pumping heat and the importance of an appropriate and well-planned installation.  It also provides you with the information that you need in order to make up your own mind about whether a heat pump might be appropriate to your own circumstances, and also demonstrates what you need to do to in order to make the system work efficiently.","brand":"The Crowood Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49084364751191,"sku":"9781785007798","price":16.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781785007798.jpg?v=1725551901"},{"product_id":"collins-complete-plumbing-and-central-heating-9780007379491","title":"Collins Complete Plumbing and Central Heating","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe definitive, easy-to-follow guide to plumbing and heating repairs in your home.An extension of the international bestselling Collins Complete DIY Manual, this brand-new edition is packed with user-friendly photos and is fully updated with the latest information about tools, products and regulations.Whether repairing a leaking tap or installing a new shower, Collins Complete Plumbing and Heating is the indispensable tool to help you get the job done well  and keep costs to a minimum.Contents include:Emergency repairsTaps, sinks and kitchen appliancesToilets, baths and showersBoilers and radiatorsIdentifying faults and maintenanceSafety tipsTools for the job","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49399382081879,"sku":"9780007379491","price":11.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780007379491.jpg?v=1730467361"},{"product_id":"the-victorian-eye-9780226640761","title":"The Victorian Eye","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring the nineteenth century, Britain became the first gaslit society, with electric lighting arriving in 1878.

But acceptable ways of re-creating old lighting do exist, and Lighting for Historic Buildings shows how to find them. This invaluable guide provides both a history of lighting in America and a catalog of 481 suitable reproductions available today. Noted historian Roger Moss shows how interiors from the 1620s to the 1930s can be well lighted yet still maintain their character. Reproductions are organized by lighting source (candles, burning fluids, kerosene, gas and electricity) and fixture type (chandeliers, wall brackets and hall lights).

The first edition covered background information, description, and analysis of four major cooling system technologies - vapor compression cooling, evaporative cooling, absorption cooling, and gas cooling. The second edition has been expanded to include increased coverage of cooling system refrigerants, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and building cooling loads. With increasing climate change due to the buildup of greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere, there has been a worldwide impetus to transition to cooling systems and refrigerants that have a low or even zero global warming potential. The text is written as a tutorial for engineering students and practicing engineers who want to become more familiar with the performance of refrigeration and air conditioning systems. The goals are to familiarize the reader with cooling technology nomenclature and provide insight into how refrigeration and air conditioning systems can be modeled and analyzed. Emphasis is placed on constructing idealized thermodynamic cycles to represent actual physical situations in cooling systems. The book contains numerous practical examples to show how one can calculate the performance of cooling system components. By becoming familiar with the analyses presented in the examples, one can gain a feel for representative values of the various thermal and mechanical parameters that characterize cooling systems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction to Cooling Technologies.- Vapor Compression Cooling Cycles.- Evaporative, Absorption, and Gas Cooling Cycles.- Fluid Flow in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Systems.- Heat Transfer in HVAC Systems.- Cooling Loads in Buildings.- Cooling Equipment.- Physical Constants and Conversion Factors.- Author Biography.","brand":"Springer International Publishing AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49415691993431,"sku":"9783031167782","price":49.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783031167782.jpg?v=1730527805"},{"product_id":"lehrbuch-der-hochbaukonstruktionen-9783519350156","title":"Lehrbuch der Hochbaukonstruktionen","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDas Handbuch bietet eine detaillierte Übersicht der aktuellen Hochbaukonstruktionen.

Attachment ventilation is a high-performance ventilation mode that was first proposed by the author, Prof. Angui Li 20 years ago. Now it has been widely used in office spaces, subway stations, high-speed railway stations, international airport terminals, and other large spaces. This book introduces attachment ventilation in detail to eliminate the cooling\/heating load of the occupied zone and provide an expected environment for the air-conditioned zone. Attachment ventilation combines the advantages of traditional mixed ventilation and displacement ventilation. This book consists of six chapters, covering a series of airflow patterns, mechanisms, parameter correlations, and attachment ventilation design methods.
