Solar Thermal-Electric Integrated system can be used to generate heat and electricity simultaneously and can improve indoor all qualify. So, it can save heating and electricity cost as it operates at relatively lower temperatures. In this study, one pv module was fixed on a normal wall and a pv module was mounted on a solarwall. And a ventilation fan in the solar energy cogeneration panel was operated from 12:00 to 17:00 hours. Experimental results are recorded and anaysized. The comparison of results show that the temperature of PV on solar energy cogeneration panel was decreased by $7{\sim}9^{\circ}C$ and the electrical output was improved by $2{\sim}3W$ compared with a PV system without solarwall.

This study was performed to find the best bonding conditions by comparing mechanical properties in solar collector. The solar collector that consists of copper plate and tube was successfully bonding by ultrasonic seam welding. In this experiment, we varied the values of welding pressure and welding amplitude and fixed the values of speed and frequency. Consequently, it was find that the welding pressure had higher effort on bonding strength than the welding amplitude.

A solar air heater was designed for supplementary domestic heating. The absorber plate had a series of protruding notches which had triangular openings on the front surface of the absorber plate to direct partial air flow to the rear surface and to enhance the convective heat transfer to the flowing air. The height of the opening as well as the opening configuration was determined by preceding numerical simulations. The experimental model had an absorber plate of 0.78-m width and 1.0-m length which was coated with black paint. The air temperature increased as much as $18^{\circ}C$ for $90-m^3/h$ flow rate when the absorber plate was inclined by $45^{\circ}$ for a clear-day solar irradiation of about $906W/m^2$. The collector efficiency ranged from 69 to 74%. Considering the simplicity of the structure and low manufacturing cost, the solar air heater might have competence as an auxiliary heating device for domestic use. On-site experimental results are presented with discussion for various solar irradiations and air flow conditions.

A solar collector surface coated with a low emission material is still imported from other developed countries expensively. Thus it is very significant to develop a new coating method with a cheap alternative coating material instead of the imported high-cost collector surface. A thermal spray method was adopted to coat a cheap Titania on a copper plate. Generally, a new coating on the copper plate was conducted successfully by selecting a proper ratio of carbon and acetylene. By measuring an absorption rate of solar and heat emission rate, all the plate types gained a high absorption rate of 98% approximately, more or less, but all of the types still have a high emission. Finally it was clear that more research is needed to advance the coated-plate to subdue the high emission from the hot plate surface and the higher the Titania's proportion is, the lower the emission is on the surface.

주택외간의 품격을 좌우하는 요소인 지붕에 주로 사용되는 자재는 기와이다. 과거에는 주로 재래식 한식기와가 사용되었지만 지금은 거의 사용되지 않고 양식기와인 스패니시 기와가 보편적으로 사용되고 있다. 그 이유는 외장재로 많이 사용되는 자재들과 가장 잘 어울리기 때문이지만 외벽에 돌이 사용된 경우에는 천연슬레이트가 더 적합하다. 최근에는 컬라아스팔트 슁글이 지붕재로 각광을 받고 있는데 미려한 외관을 만들 뿐만 아니라 방수효과도 뛰어나기 때문이다. 또 한 장두장 이상 겹쳐져 시공되기 때문에 내구성도 강하고, 강인한 글래스매트나 다공성 원지를 심재로 특수개질 아스팔트를 합쳐 채색된 돌입자로 표면을 처리하여 내후성 · 내변색성도 강하다. 무게도 기와의 1/5이 안돼 구조체의 하중부담을 줄여 안정성을 기할 수 있다. 이외의 지붕재로 금속제품, 유리, 태양열 주택의 집열판 등 부분적인 지붕으로 사용되는 것으로가 한때 유행했던 콘크리트 슬라이브 등을 들 수 있다.

This study examines a regeneration process using hot air heated by solar radiation to recover absorption potential by evaporating moisture in liquid desiccant. More specifically, this study is aimed at finding the optimum operating condition of the regenerator by utilizing a well-established statistical tool, so-called design of experiment, and optimization techniques. It is demonstrated that an optimization model to find the optimum operating condition can be obtained using the functional relationship between regeneration rate and affecting factors which is approximated on the basis experimental results.

This paper attempted to bridge this gap by identifying the number of flat-plate solar collectors. The characteristics of wind pressure coefficients acting on flat-plate solar collectors which are most widely used were investigated for various wind direction. Findings from this study found that the location where the maximum wind pressure coefficient occurred in the solar collector was the edge of the collector. Regarding the characteristics according to the number of collectors, the paper found that downward wind pressure coefficient of the lower edge of the collector was higher than the upward wind pressure coefficient of the upper edge of the collector in the basic module (1 piece). However, as the number of collectors increases, the upward wind pressure coefficient of the upper edge become higher than the downward wind pressure coefficient of the lower edge. Finally yet important, it was found that the location of the maximum wind pressure coefficient was changed according to the number of solar collectors.

In a solar domestic hot water (SDHW) system, solar energy is collected using collector panels, transferred to a circulating heat transfer fluid (brine), and eventually stored in a thermal storage tank (TST) as hot water. In this study, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was developed to predict the solar thermal energy storage in a hybrid-type TST equipped with a helical jacket heater (mantle heat exchanger) and an immersed spiral coil heater. The helical jacket heater, which is the brine flow path attached to the side wall of a TST, has advantages including simple system design, low brine flow rate, and enhanced thermal stratification. In addition, the spiral coil heater further enhances the thermal performance and thermal stratification of the TST. The developed model was validated by the good agreement between the CFD results and the experimental results performed with the hybrid-type TST in SDHW settings.
