Thermal Collector for Water and Space Heating System in Egypt

Solar energy for water and space heating is one of the effective methods to reduce conventional energy requirements for remote area buildings. In winter, a heating system for building is needed to compensate the heat loss, to maintain the comfortable temperature and to provide hot water for inhabitant. This report proposed and devolves a typical water and space heating system. This system is composed of a solar collector and biogas fuel which are designed to provide the suggested building (i.e hospital building) with the required thermal energy to obtain hot water and suitable hot air to make building warmer during winter season. A stand alone photovoltaic (PV) system is designed to supply the different electrical loads of the heating system.
