Indoor test and long-term weathering effects on the thermal performance of the solar energy system (liquid) solar collector
The procedures used and the results obtained during the evaluation test program on the Solar Energy Systems, Inc., (Liquid) Solar Collector are presented. The narrow flat-plate collector with reflective concentrating mirrors uses water as the working fluid. The double-covered collector weighs 137 pounds and has overall dimensions of about 35'' x 77'' x 6.75''. The test program was conducted to obtain the following information: thermal performance data under simulated conditions, structural behavior under static load, and the effects of long-term exposure to natural weathering. These tests were conducted using the MSFC Solar Test Facility and Solar Simulator.
