Title: Standardized performance tests of collectors of solar thermal energy: a flat-plate copper collector with parallel Mylar striping

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7257627

Basic test results are reported for a flat plate solar collector whose performance was determined in a 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.
