A. Bascetincelik et al., ENERGETIC AND EXERGETIC EFFICIENCY OF LATENT-HEAT STORAGE-SYSTEM FOR GREENHOUSE HEATING, Renewable energy, 16(1-4), 1999, pp. 691-694
In this research, solar energy has been stored using the paraffin with
the latent heat technique for heating the plastic greenhouse of 180 m
(2). Energy and exergy analyses were applied for evaluation of the sys
tem efficiency. An average values of the rates of heat and thermal exe
rgy stored into the HSV were 1740 W and 60 W for the charging periods.
It was determined that the average values of the net energy and exerg
y efficiencies of the system were 41.9 % and 3.3 %, respectively. (C)
