[TRNSYS-users] doubt regarding selection of evacuated tube

[Jeff Thornton]

Aditi, 

It really depends on what performance data you have available for the
solar collector you'll be using. Type 71 and 538 use a quadratic
efficiency equation and Type 1288 uses the 6 parameter model from the
EN12975 standard. Beyond that, Type 538 is somewhat similar to Type 71
but offers more features (outlet temperature control, impact of mass,
etc.)
