- Abstract
- A repeatable test method independent of outdoor environmental conditions and laboratory geographical location is required in order to provide a means by which solar domestic hot water systems may be rated and compared. The experimental investigation presented in the paper describes two techniques which meet the above criteria for a refrigerant-charged solar domestic hot water system.
