• EISG Final Report: Solar Thermal Heat Pump/Chiller (2008)-

  This is a report on the Solar Thermal Heat Pump/Chiller the “Helisorber” that was done at the conclusion of a research project on the product funded by the Energy Innovations Small Grant (EISG) Program, administered by the California Energy Commission.

  The “Helisorber” heat pump when coupled with a low-concentration solar collector is capable of providing chilling and heat pumped hot water. The research finds that the Helisorber is both a cost-effective and carbon reducing approach to creating a mass market solar thermal project.
