Research of solar-kang heating systems design for rural house in cold areas of China

Abstract

According to doing research on the rural houses in cold areas, this thesis mainly discusses a set of solar-hot-air heating system-Solar-Kang. In the local rural areas, one storey, rectangular and sloping roof are the most important characteristics in shape, and "Kang" is one of the main heating equipment. This heating system combines the characteristics of local houses and peasant's living habits, using slope roof as its heat collection devices, changing the traditional "Kang" into heat storage pond, and utilizing solar energy and cooking heat as heat source. Therefore, the poor indoor thermal environment in traditional rural houses can be improved, and it can reach the purposes of saving energy, ecology, comfort, and environmental protection.
