41Solar desalination — is a technique to desalinate water using solar energy. Solar desalination in the modern era extends back to the early 1950s when simple solar stills were studied for remote desert and coastal communities [E Delyannis, 2003, Historic background of …
42Solar hot carbon — (also known as Solar Hot CO2, Solar Methane, SolarCarbon, Carbon Panels, Smoky Solar, etc.) is an somewhat uncommon method for capturing solar energy. It is essentially the same as Solar hot water except that the heat carrying medium is carbon… …
43Heat transfer — is a discipline of thermal engineering that concerns the exchange of thermal energy from one physical system to another. Heat transfer is classified into various mechanisms, such as heat conduction, convection, thermal radiation, and phase change …
44Solar Energy Generating Systems — (SEGS) is the largest solar energy generating facility in the world. It consists of nine solar power plants in California s Mojave Desert, where insolation is among the best available in the United States. FPL Energy operates and partially owns… …
45Solar sail — Solar sails (also called light sails or photon sails, especially when they use light sources other than the Sun) are a proposed form of spacecraft propulsion using large membrane mirrors. Radiation pressure is about 10 5 Pa at Earth s distance… …
46Solar Tres Power Tower — Solar Tres is a planned 15 MW power plant based on solar thermal energy. It is located west of the city of Écija, in Andalusia, Spain. [ [http://www.nrel.gov/csp/troughnet/pdfs/2007/martin solar tres.pdf NREL CSP Technology Workshop: Solar Tres] …
47Solar pool panels — are either flat plate or evacuated tube solar water heating collectors. The versions for nonpotable pool water use are often made of plastic. Pool water, mildly corrosive due to chlorine, is circulated through the panels using the existing pool… …
48Solar Thermal Systems — Solar energy systems that collect or absorb solar energy for useful purposes. Can be used to generate high temperature heat (for electricity production and/or process heat), medium temperature heat (for process and space/water heating and… …
49Solar power in the United States — is the largest available energy source for the United States, although in 2006 it accounted for less than 0.1% of electricity generation. Renewable resources (solar, wind, geothermal, hydroelectric, biomass, and waste) provided nearly 12 percent… …
50Heat recovery ventilation — (also known as a heat exchanger, air exchanger or air to air exchanger) is a ventilation system that employs a counter flow heat exchanger between the inbound and outbound air flow. HRV provide fresh air and improved climate control, while also… …
