[TRNSYS-users] Gummy/Plastic collector

[Kent Beason]

Type553 for Unglazed Collector (No Covers).  This is in the TESS Solar Library.  I know that FAFCO simulates their panels with this Type.  

You will need to have test data of your particular panel in question and enter the values into Parameters and Inputs.

Subject: [TRNSYS-users] Gummy/Plastic collector

Hello Trnsys user,
 
I´m trying to simulate with TRNSYS a Solar installation with  collectors without glass cover , those ones that are normally used with swimming pools and are made of gummy or plastic. The behaviour is completely different from the usual flat plate collector, (for example should be strongly depending on wind conditions) and I am not finding many good  data in Internet to simulate it properly. Have anyone simulated this kind of collectors?

Any comment would be sincerely appreciated.
 
Thanks a lot.
