Field Commissioning Of A Daylight-Dimming Lighting System, Florida Solar Energy Center, David Floyd
Field Commissioning Of A Daylight-Dimming Lighting System, Florida Solar Energy Center, David Floyd
FSEC Energy Research Center®
An Elementary School cafeteria in Florida was commissioned with a fluorescent lighting system that dims in response to available daylight. The lighting system's performance and commissioning aspects were evaluated through real time measurement of lighting and air conditioning power, work plane illumination, and interior/exterior site conditions. The new system produced a 27% reduction in lighting power due to dimming. Lower than expected dimming system performance was observed prior to effective commissioning. Difficulties encountered are discussed as well as recommendations for performance improvements.

Assessment Of Infiltration Practices In The Florida Energy Code, Florida Solar Energy Center, James Cummings
FSEC Energy Research Center®
The Florida Department of Community Affairs has contracted with the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) to review the current infiltration practices of the Florida Energy Code to determine, based on analysis of the best currently available infiltration data, whether there is need for three infiltration practices, and to make recommendations of what "point multipliers" should be applied to the infiltration practice(s). An advisory committee of industry, utility, and research representatives was formed to review the findings of the project and express opinions about the form the infiltration practices should take. This committee met twice, reviewed each of the reports produced …

A Study Of The Thermodynamic And Heat Transfer Characteristics Of Two-Phase Two-Component Flow With Application To A Solar-Assisted Heat Pump, Walid A. Aziz
Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations
Two-phase flow of single component refrigerants has been studied, theoretically and experimentally, for many CFCs, in many industrial applications, including the solar-assisted heat pump system. This study extends the thermodynamic and heat transfer analysis in the phase transition boiling region, to newly proposed refrigerant mixtures, which are candidates for replacing the classical CFCs for future HVAC applications. The goal of this study is to develop a methodology, to design the collector/evaporator tubes of a solar-assisted heat pump, using a binary refrigerant mixture as the working fluid. The method is implemented numerically as a computer algorithm. In order to do that, …
Solar Photovoltaic Air Conditioning Of Residential Buildings, Florida Solar Energy Center, Danny Parker
Solar Photovoltaic Air Conditioning Of Residential Buildings, Florida Solar Energy Center, Danny Parker
FSEC Energy Research Center®
The use of photovoltaics (PV) for residential air conditioning (AC) represents an attractive application due to the close match between the diurnal cooling load and the availability of solar radiation. Conventional wisdom suggests that air conditioning is a process too energy intensive to be addressed by PV. Previous investigations have concentrated on the feasibility of matching PV output to vapor-compression machines, and the cost effectiveness of other solar cooling options. Recently, Japanese manufacturers have introduced small (8,000 Btu/hr) grid-connected solar assisted AC systems. These small room-sized systems are inadequately sized to meet air conditioning peak demands in larger U.S. homes …
