Energy consumption impacts of backup gas firing efficiency, tank standby losses, and pilot flame energy consumption in “Two-Tank” solar-gas DHW systems, subjected to the typical DHW consumption of the single family home

Abstract

The use of gas-fired backup heaters of poor efficiency or with a standing pilot imposes high penalties on solar hot water systems. With good backup heaters thermally coupled to the solar tank, large savings in fossil fuel can be obtained by building systems larger than optimum, at only slight increases in hot water cost.
