Abstract: The thermal performance of a solar pond operating under steady-state conditions is analysed theoretically for use in space heating in four diverse Turkish locations having widely different climates. The average pond temperature for each month is obtained for maximum heat extraction, with the thickness of the pond-insulating layers as a fixed parameter. For a fixed pond-insulating layer, the useful heat withdrawn during the month is calculated for these four locations. Space-heating loads and the solar heating fractions are estimated as functions of pond area for four different types of buildings. The necessary pond area is calculated for supplying the heat requirements for these prototype buildings. Finally, the economic feasibility of constructing solar-pond systems in Turkey is discussed.
