Testing Flat-Plate Water Heating Solar Collectors in Accordance with the BSE and ASHRAE Procedures

摘要

Five solar collectors were tested according to the BSE and ASHRAE test procedures and the results compared. All five collectors tested were modular, flat-plate, and water-heating, and included single- and double-glazed designs with and without selectively-coated absorbers. In both procedures, collector efficiency curves are determined.
