[TRNSYS-users] questions about type 71

[Jeff Thornton]

<Could you help me concerning type 71 "evacuated tube collector":>

Sure.

<- Does "number in serie" mean number of collectors in series in a branch
or the number of branch of collectors? >

Imagine a system with 6 total collectors; two branches off the main supply
line with three collectors connected end to end on each branch.  The
number in series would be three then.

<- Does "flow rate at test conditions" correspond to flow rate of one
collector or to multiplication of flow rate of one collector by the total
number of collector?>

The flow rate at test conditions is the flow rate at which the collector
was tested divided by the area of the collector that was tested.

<- Does "input fow rate" correspond to total flow rate of the array or to
flow rate of one branch of collectors in series?>

The total flow rate of the array.
