Day 2 – Solar Cooling Conference - 12/04/2013Venue: CSIRO, North Ryde, Sydney
� Demand for cooling can be more significant than for heating in Australia
� Unglazed solar collectors have often been used a means of providing low cost heating to swimming poolsto swimming pools
� Under night conditions when there is no solar radiation and the sky temperature is low, unglazed collectors can radiate heat to the sky

� Unglazed collectors are typically polymer style “mats” that are laid on top of a roof, often leading to poor often leading to poor aesthetics due to their lack of integration
� Want to integrate into the building not ontothe building

� Long run metal roofing is widely used for domestic, commercial and industrial applicationsapplications
� Can be used for low temperature pool heating through to domestic water heating
� High emissivity polyester paint surface

� Able to achieve cooling in the order of 50W/m2 (temperatures of ~10ºC observed)
� Well suited for moderate cooling loads under summer conditions if storage used
� Sydney and Perth a system area of 100m2� Sydney and Perth a system area of 100m2
averaging a radiant heat loss of 50W/m2 may be able to be used for approximately 2000h annually; this would lead to cooling of approximately 10000kWh/annum.
