Information

Partial record containing common performance parameters for ASHRAE93 and EN12975 solar collector models.

Depending on the data source that is used, different parameters are available to model the thermal capacity of the solar collector. The choice of CTyp determines which parameters are used to calculate the representative heat capacity of the entire solar collector (including fluid). When the dry mass of the solar collector is used to calculate the heat capacity, the collector is assumed to be made fully out of copper (specific heat capacity of 385 J/kg/K).
