Title: Directory of SRCC certified solar collector ratings: supplement to Fall 1983 edition

Abstract

The solar collector thermal performance ratings contained in this Directory Supplement provide both the manufacturer and the solar consumer with a means for making informed comparisons between collectors over a broad range of applications. The thermal performance rating figures for collectors as published in the directory are calculated from test data generated from either ASHRAE 93-77 or ASHRAE 96-1980 test standards (SRCC Standard 100-81). These rating numbers represent the all day energy output of a collector and are expressed in terms of thousands of Btu's (British Thermal Units) per Day per Panel. The directory is divided into four sections representing the main generic types of collector panels. Each entry contains not only the thermal performance ratings, but collector material descriptions, fluid capacity, tested flow rate, maximum recommended flow rate, operating temperature and pressure as well as an efficiency equation, incident angle modifier, and Y-intercept and slope values.
