Solar simulators for collector testing specifications and operating characteristics. Subtask C. Investigation of the potential of solar simulators: evaluation of the functional characteristics of the simulator

Abstract

A survey has been made of the twelve solar simulators used for collector thermal performance testing by the participants in Task III of the IEA Programme to Develop and Test Solar Heating and Cooling Systems. Detailed information is given about the lamps used and other features of each simulator and its test chamber. Arrangements for operating and maintaining the test facility and for carrying out thermal performance tests are reported. Finally, comparisons are made between results obtained in the simulator and in outdoor test facilities.
