Performance Testing of the TOLTEC TI-410 Concentrating Solar Collector

摘要

Results of tests conducted by the Collector Module Test Facility on a Toltec TI-410 Solar Collector are summarized. Collector efficiency, thermal loss, and receiver differential pressure were measured at fluid temperatures from 20 exp 0 C to 200 exp 0 C. The collector was evaluated with a glass mirror and with an acrylic/polyester film reflector surface. Four different receiver designs were tested. (ERA citation 06:033195)
