Performance Test Procedures for Thermal Collectors (1) Outdoor Testing

摘要: A review of outdoor solar collector test methods is presented, based largely on the CEC Recommendations for European Solar Collector Test Methods. facility design and instrumentation are discussed, with reference to their influence measured efficiencies. Steady state testing, mixed indoor/outdoor testing transient reviewed, it concluded that although simple flat plate water heaters fairly well understood, more work now required develop new high performance collectors which coming onto market.
