University of Stuttgart gets a research house for solar heat storage
Together with the company SchwörerHaus the Research and Test Centre for Solar Systems (TZS) of the Institute for Thermodynamics and Heat Technology (ITW) of the University of Stuttgart in the framework of the project "Solspaces" are developing a new heating concept in the building, combining the solar heating with the long-term heat storage. The central element is a highly efficient thermochemical heat storage tank, enabling the solar heat from summer to be used to heat the building in the winter. After many years of developing, this concept is to be tested for the first time now in a residential house. For this purpose a new type of building of the type "Flying Spaces" from SchwörerHaus was supplied to the University of Stuttgart in Stuttgart-Vaihingen today in the early hours by means of a heavy transport.
