than in integr<strong>at</strong>ed he<strong>at</strong> exchangers. Therefore, scaling may not cause a gre<strong>at</strong> problem.<br />

Integr<strong>at</strong>ed he<strong>at</strong> exchangers on the other h<strong>and</strong> can be blocked completely by lime form<strong>at</strong>ion if<br />

the temper<strong>at</strong>ures in the store are high <strong>and</strong> hard potable w<strong>at</strong>er is used. Some manufacturers<br />

recommend limiting the temper<strong>at</strong>ure in the store to e.g. 60°C which avoids scaling. In th<strong>at</strong><br />

case, the system cannot be used for solar cooling applic<strong>at</strong>ion anymore because<br />

temper<strong>at</strong>ures well above 60°C are needed for the coo ling machine.<br />

Therefore, a big question mark has to be put behind systems with integr<strong>at</strong>ed he<strong>at</strong><br />

exchangers for domestic hot w<strong>at</strong>er prepar<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>and</strong> a small question mark for tank-in-tank<br />

systems. For both system types experiences with installed systems will show whether they<br />

are suitable for integr<strong>at</strong>ion of solar cooling or not.<br />

2.4 Other Fe<strong>at</strong>ures Relevant for <strong>Solar</strong> <strong>Cooling</strong> Integr<strong>at</strong>ion<br />

After having described different solar combisystems without cooling function we now need to<br />

look <strong>at</strong> topics th<strong>at</strong> are important for solar cooling into applic<strong>at</strong>ions but are not relevant for the<br />

solar combisystem for he<strong>at</strong>ing only.<br />

2.4.1 Possibility to Reduce Tank Size for Summer Oper<strong>at</strong>ion<br />

If the store size of the solar combisystem is rel<strong>at</strong>ively large, it may be necessary to reduce<br />

the tank size in summer to ensure th<strong>at</strong> cooling oper<strong>at</strong>ion can start rel<strong>at</strong>ively early in the day<br />

without having to he<strong>at</strong> the entire storage tank to high temper<strong>at</strong>ures first. This can be done by<br />

including an extra outlet <strong>at</strong> mid height of the storage tank th<strong>at</strong> is used in summer. Of course<br />

this outlet can also be used in winter to reach temper<strong>at</strong>ures for space he<strong>at</strong>ing oper<strong>at</strong>ion<br />

faster. This second outlet can be an additional integr<strong>at</strong>ed he<strong>at</strong> exchanger or an additional<br />
