Optical performance of the TBC-2 solar collector before and after the 1993 mirror lustering
- Sandia National Labs., Albuquerque, NM (United States). Solar Thermal Test Dept.
In 1993, the mirror facets of one of Sandia`s point-focusing solar collectors, the Test Bed Concentrator {number_sign}2 (TBC-2), were reconditioned. The concentrator`s optical performance was evaluated before and after this operation. This report summarizes and compares the results of these tests. The tests demonstrated that the concentrator`s total power and peak flux were increased while the overall flux distribution in the focal plane remained qualitatively the same.
