Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6565891· OSTI ID:6565891
The progress made in the development of the SEC-601 collector subsystem by Owens-Illinois is covered. A description of thermal and physical performance testing of the Model SEC-601 collector and a forecast of activities for completing contract task are presented. The testing of the 144 tube ERDA evacuated tubular air collector in conjunction with an air/liquid heat exchange and liquid storage elements was completed. Test results indicate care is needed to match the heat exchanger and collector characteristics with specific attention to the dynamic response of each of the elements. Formal documentation of the results of the verification and test analysis was submitted for many sections of the test plan.
