- Abstract
- The National Bureau of Standards has made a study of the different techniques that could be used for testing solar collectors and rating them on the basis of thermal performance. This document outlines a standard test procedure based on that study. it is written in the format of a standard of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers and specifies the recommended apparatus, instrumentation, and test procedure.
