Long-term weathering effects on the thermal performance of the Libbey-Owens-Ford (liquid) solar collector
Test procedures used during an evaluation test program to obtain the thermal performance data on the solar collector following long term exposure to natural weathering conditions are given. The total weathering period was about fourteen and one-half months. The test article is a flat-plate solar collector that uses liquid as the heat transfer medium. The overall dimensions of the collector are 3' x 7' x 4-3/4''. The absorber plate is No. 110 copper and is .021'' thick. It has a double glass cover of 1/8'' tempered glass, and weighs approximately 130 pounds.
