Summary
This document is the final technical report of the solar energy facility located at the Radian Corporation, Austin, Texas, 78766. This system has been operational since April 1977. Major components of this system include 36 Northrup collectors, a 1500 gallon fiberglass thermal storage tank, an ARKLA absorption cooling unit and cooling tower, a Servel heating coil, pumps, heat exchanger, and a conventional backup heating and air conditioning unit. System controls consist of a dual-stage thermostat, a control panel, a differential temperature controller, and three absolute temperature controllers. The system is designed to operate in several modes with evaluation of each mode. System performance monitoring is accomplished through 47 sensors which are sampled and recorded every five minutes by a data acquisition system. An on-site-monitor test set allows instantaneous testing and evaluation. This report also references Monthly Performance Reports, a Solar Energy System Performance Evaluation Report, a Solar Project Cost Report and a Solar Project Description Report for this site which are available through the National Technical Information Service.
