Standardized performance tests of collectors of solar thermal energy. A flat-plate collector with a single-tube serpentine flow distribution
This preliminary data report gives basic test results of 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 coolant flow rates. Collector efficiency is correlated in terms of inlet temperature and flux level.
