Development Of Proposed Standards For Testing Solar Collectors And Thermal Storage Devices Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Nbs Solar Collector Durability-Reliability Test Program: Final Report In 1977, a program was initiated by nbs to help provide an experimental basis for the development of consensus standards for assessing the reliability and durability of solar collectors and their materials. In this program, eight different types of flat-plate solar collectors and small-scale cover and absorber materials specimens, representative of those in use at that time, were exposed outdoors at four sites located in different climatic regions. Periodic measurements were made of their performance as a function of exposure time. Laboratory aging tests were conducted concurrently on specimens of the same materials to provide a basis for comparison with the outdoor exposure tests.
