<p class=MsoNormal>Dear All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am searching for a experimentally validated unglazed collector
setting in TRNSYS (with values of Inputs, Parameters, assumptions, etc.).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am currently working on an unglazed polymer PVT collector
with rectangular flow channels (so NOT a fin-type collector.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I would like to compare my attempts with similar systems. As
there are probably no “really similar” systems available, any
validated solar collector model will be helpful.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Ideally with long term measurements validation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Can someone comment on the accuracy of the default values
for the collector types, e.g. is it a good enough reference to simply use a
TRNSYS type out of the box? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Would some standard decks from IEA tasks work (I think
they exist, right?) for my purpose?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am currently reading about <b>Type 132</b>, but till now I
could not find any download link (and it should be openly available if I
understood correctly). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Can anyone help on that?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am not sure about the validity of my potential results, as
I do not have a prototype yet, so I try to judge how I could somewhat validate
by comparison.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Your help is highly appreciated!!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Best from freezing Boston,<o:p></o:p></p>
