NASA Technical Memorandum X-3294
July 1976

An Inexpensive Economical Solar Heating System For Homes

This report describes a low-cost solar home heating system to supplement the homeowner\'s present warm-air heating system. The report is written in three parts:

(1) A brief background on solar heating,
(2) Langley\'s experience with a demonstration system,
(3) Information for the homeowner who wishes to construct such a system

Instructions are given to the homeowner for a solar heating installation in which he supplies all labor necessary to install off-the-shelf components estimated to cost $2000. These components, which inclue solar collector, heat exchanger, water pump, storage tank, piping, and controls to make the system completely automatic, are readily available at local lumber yards, hardware stores, and plumbing supply stores, and they are relatively simple to install. Manufacturers and prices of each component used and a rough cost analysis based on these prices are given for the homewner\'s convenience. This report also gives performandce data obtainded from a demonstration system which has been built and tested at the Langley Research Center.
