Syracuse University was awarded an NSF/RANN grant in June 1974 to investigate an importantpotential use of solar energy. The research team was composed of personnel from SyracuseUniversity and from two participating organizations: The Singer Company (Climate Control Division)and the architectural/engineering firm of Vosbeck, Vosbeck, Kendrick and Redinger. Theparticular application that was the subject of the study is the heating of commercial andinstitutional buildings of moderate size, using the closed-loop heat pump system with state-of-the-art solar collectors and a storage tank. The solar collector also functions as a heatrejection device for night time cooling in seasons where there is a net daily cooling load.The basic heat absorption and storage systems provide for the production of domestic hot waterin addition, with the aid of a water-to-water heat pump. These auxiliary functions enhance theeconomic attractiveness of the basic solar heating system.
