For an effective performance, the system required both continuous exposure of the dish to sunlight during the day time as well as to an electric control circuit （tracking system）. The amount of the potable water was dependent particularly on the accurate centering of the system which could increase upon preheating. This system has therefore been possible to heat up water at home via increasing the temperature in hot tank by both covering the hot water tank and isolating it from the surroundings using insulators. Applications of a successful parabolic solar concentration has also been designed to provide desalinated water for domestic usage which operates with temperatures higher than other types of the solar radiation for the future.展开更多

The adverse impact of their investment sophistication on competitiveness may be compensated by the increased use. For example： Cooperation with heat pump allows to increase the accumulation capacity of the seasonal heat storage tank and causes the direct use of heating energy and accumulation of cooling energy produced by heat pump. In the final stage of the heating period, it can be used to remote cooling supplied buildings. Experimentation on mathematical model is possible to obtain valuable insights about the dynamics of the processes of charging and discharging in the seasonal storage tank and subsequently used in the design, implementation and operation.展开更多
