Long-term weathering effects on the thermal performance of the Solargenics (liquid) solar collector at outdoor conditions
The test procedures used and the results obtained during the evaluation test program of the Solargenics single-covered liquid solar collector are presented. The tests were performed under outdoor natural conditions at the Solar Test Facility at MSFC, following long-term exposure to natural weathering conditions. The collector was under stagnation conditions from August 26, 1978, to June 13, 1979, for a total of approximately ten months. The Solargenics solar collector is a liquid, single-glazed, flat-plate collector, and is about 240 inches long, 38 inches wide, and 3.8 inches in depth.
