Applied Energy, 1980, vol. 6, issue 5, 329-346

Abstract: An integrated collector and inter-seasonal store (Prometheus), capable of supplying 100 per cent of low-grade heat needs even at mid-latitudes, is described. The design parameters are investigated theoretically, using sinusoidal insolation and load and real data. Costs are also estimated. A prima facie case is established for the technical, social and economic feasibility of the Prometheus type of device.
