What is the project Solar Combi+?
Small-scale thermally driven chillers are relatively new on the market. These chillers can be integrated in solar combisystems for domestic hot water preparation and space heating. These so-called solar combi plus systems are becoming available on the market as pre-engineered packages. The EU project Solar Combi + is supporting the market entry of such systems.

The project homepage is now online!
On our project website www.solarcombiplus.eu you’ll find not only the description of the project, its objectives and activities, but also contact information of all project partners as well as links to related projects. Most important: all deliverables all available online!
The information is presented in seven languages on a two level concept – i.e. with targeted information in national languages and more details in English. The language bar in the upper right corner allows you to switch from one language to the other, whenever the page is available in the respective language. To facilitate the navigation and avoid that navigators in national languages are not aware of the wider information available in English, a special menu bar has been developed, where hints to additional pages in English are given.

Results of market study for solar combi plus systems
A market study has been performed to identify the most promising areas of application of solar combi plus systems. In addition the attitude of consumers towards this technology was analysed.

Virtual case studies
The performance of small-scale solar combi plus systems in different locations in Europe and in typical buildings is being assessed through numerous simulation calculations within a virtual case study. Different configurations, chillers, heat rejection technologies and collectors are considered. The achieved database with performance figures for the systems allows to identify most promising fields of application for the selected concepts and components. The virtual case study assists the development of suitable pre-engineered solutions.
