End

Total Heat Deposition = Solar Radiation - Enclosure Radiation + Soil Radiation + Atmospheric Radiation

Heat Load = Mass Flow * Specific Heat * Temperature * Density△

Equations

● The design and test rig hoses were set up differently

● I noticed that the supply and return hoses were swapped on the test rig

● Tests were done comparing the two of them to observe differences

Notes

Thermal Imaging

● 23% Error from modeled data○ Assumptions done in modeled data○ 23% more heat load predicted to be removed

● Disparity in data between July 1st, 2003 and July, 2015

● Actual Heat Loads Modeled Heat Loads ⋡○ Chiller too small for the Plate coil.

● NOTE: These are all averaged values for that data set. ● No major difference between hose swapping

Graphical Analysis

Graphical Analysis

● Settle on a singular piping material● Record additional data

○ Various weather possibilities○ Late night testing

● Larger Chiller○ Set to a colder temperature (Ambient - 10

degrees)
