Development of a portable specular reflectometer for monitoring solar-mirror materials
Conference
·
OSTI ID:5704406
The general design requirements of a portable reflectometer which can determine the specular reflectance properties of solar mirror materials is presented. Based on these considerations a prototype instrument was developed at Sandia National Laboratories. Because of the interest in this instrument, a competitive contract was paced with Devices and Services Company, Dallas, TX for the development of a commercial instrument based on the Sandia design. The operation and performance of this instrument are discussed, including the accuracy, stability, reproducibility, temperature response, and outdoor performance. Finally, limitations of this instrument and future developments in this area are briefly discussed.
