LA-80-09-4 -- Phase-Change Heat Transfer in Solar Hot Water Heating Using R-11 and R-114
The transfer of heat from solar collectors to water is often accomplished by circulating liquids such as water, glycol solutions, hydrocarbon oils, silicone liquids, etc. The use of vaporizing/condensing fluids in this application has not received much attention; although such systems are commercially available, and a number of successful installations have been made.Citation: ASHRAE Transactions, Volume 86, Part 1, Los Angeles, California
