Legionella pneumophila in Domestic Hot Water Systems: Evaluation of Detection Methods and Environmental Factors Affecting Survival
, 2007
"... Legionella is the causative agent of Legionnaires ’ disease which hospitalizes 8,000 to 18,000 people in the United States each year. The disease in transmitted through inhalation or aspiration of water containing the bacterium and can be acquired within the home. Studies have found that 0-37 % of d ..."

Printed on recycled paperSIMULATION OF A NATURAL CONVECTION HEAT EXCHANGER SOLAR DOMESTIC HOT WATER SYSTEM
, 1995
"... A model of a natural convection heat exchanger (NCHE) in a solar domestic hot water (SDHW) system is presented for use with the TRNSYS program. The model, based upon crossflow heat exchanger correlations, requires only geometric specifications of the NCHE. By varying heat exchanger geometric paramet ..."
