Solar Thermal Systems [Offer Closed]
Successful Planning & Construction
Martin Schnauss, Karl-Heinz Remmers, Felix A Peuser

*** Special Offer ***

*** RRP €105.00 Our Price €95.00 ***

Solar Thermal Systems summarizes the theoretical and practical knowledge gained from over 20 years of research, implementation and operation of thermal solar installations. This work provides answers to a variety of key questions by examining current solar installations, drawing upon past experiences and making proposals for future planning.

• how do system components and materials behave under continuous operation?

• which components have proven themselves and how are they used properly?

• what are the causes of defects and how can they be avoided?

• how long is the service life of modern solar installations?

• what is the difference between the various solar collectors?

• what performance can be expected from solar installations?

• how are solar installations planned and structured correctly?

In addition to practical recommendations on implementation, the theoretical background is also clearly explained. This book is a valuable guide for all those who deal with solar technology and at the same time a reference for the daily work of planners and fitters. It will also prove a useful tool for training and education.

About the Authors

The authors, Dr Felix A Peuser, Karl-Heinz Remmers and Martin Schnauss, have many years of experience in production, planning and execution as well as economic and technical analysis of solar installations on all scales.
