Description
Summary:This paper presents the results of monitoring the performance of a hybrid system consisting of a micro-CSP and a biomass boiler for water and space heating of a Hammam (traditional bath). The biomass boiler was used in order to overcome the intermittency of solar energy, and to ensure a continuous supply of hot water and heat especially in periods of high demand. Local agricultural residues (olive pomace, shells of walnuts, almonds, Argan...) can be used as the biomass feed. Underfloor heating made from either copper or PEX tubing was used for space heating. The monitoring results show that the hammam is heavily used after 19:00 with an average consumption of 523 kg/day of olive pomace, and that the system has a high thermal inertia.
