The SRB solar thermal panel

Abstract: tHe srB solar tHerMal paNel Features 16T he mechanical design of the panel [1] is shown schematically in Fig. 1. It consists of a metal frame sealed on both sides by glass windows, allowing solar radiation to enter at either side. The resulting box contains blackened copper heat absorbers which capture the solar energy. The absorbers are laser welded to stainless steel pipes which allow the heat to be extracted by circulating a fluid. These features are common to any flat solar thermal panel. The distinctive f… Show more

“…The non-concentrating EFPSC includes a flat absorber within an evacuated enclosure with a top glass cover and an array of pins to support the glass cover against atmospheric pressure loading (Moss et al, 2018), and the collectors have the potential to attain sufficiently high operating temperatures up to 250 o C with still reasonable collector efficiency. According to the performance curves for a commercially developed EFPSC by Benvenuti (2013), at an operating temperature of about 100 o C, the collector thermal efficiency is greater than 60% under a solar flux of 800 W/m 2 . Under the same solar flux, the efficiency is about 54% when the operating temperature is increased to 150 o C. Benz and Beikircher (1999) developed a prototype collector for process steam production based on a commercially available evacuated flatplate collector to achieve higher thermal efficiencies at temperatures up to 150 o C. According to the test results, at a steam temperature of about 115 o C, a collector efficiency of 62% was achieved while at about 165 o C, the efficiency was still about 45%.…”

“…The TVP Solar collectors are insulated by vacuum (~< 0.1Pa) thus strongly reducing thermal losses due to gas convection and conduction. The vacuum is maintained throughout the life of the collector thanks to a getter pump, which has been designed to absorb gases outgassing from the solar collector components and compensate micro leaks (Benvenuti, 2013). Compared to other solar collectors on the market for an average temperature of 70°C (Figure 1), the MT-Power collector from TVP Solar offers the best performance.…”

“…The solar thermal collectors are manufactured by SRB Energy and were developed at the European Centre for Nuclear Research (CERN). The SRB Ultra High Vacuum (UHV) collector (Benvenuti, 2013) uses a technology based on a flat plate collector that can be combined with various mirror structures, which are a costǦeffective way to increase the aperture area and to improve performance at high temperatures. For the Yverdon installation collector type c2 was chosen.…”
