Title: Standardized performance tests of collectors of solar thermal energy: an evacuated flat-plate copper collector with a serpentine flow distribution

Abstract

Basic test results are given for a flat plate solar collector whose performance was determined in the NASA-Lewis solar simulator. The collector was tested over ranges of inlet temperatures, fluxes and one coolant flow rate. Collector efficiency is correlated in terms of inlet temperature and flux level.
