recordCI_Jonas2018

Parameter set for a covered, insulated PVT collector based on Jonas et al. (2018)

A record of IDEAS.Fluid.PVTCollectors.Data.Generic.

Information

This record contains thermal and electrical parameters for a covered and insulated PVT collector, based on experimental identification results from Jonas et al. (2018). These parameters were used in the validation of a TRNSYS PVT collector model under ISO 9806:2013 and converted to the ISO 9806:2017 quasi‑dynamic formulation used by IDEAS.Fluid.PVTCollectors.PVTCollector using the Excel file located in IDEAS/Resources/Data/Fluid/PVTCollectors.

This record can be used as a generic representation of a covered, insulated PVT collector. However, if you know the brand and model of the PVT collector you plan to simulate or install, it is recommended to use the actual datasheet parameters in a custom IDEAS.Fluid.PVTCollectors.Data.GenericQuasiDynamic record.
