recordUI_Validation
Parameters for an uncovered flat-plate PVT collector with rear cover and back-side thermal insulation
A record of IDEAS.Fluid.PVTCollectors.Data.Generic.
Information
For comparison with the simplified steady-state thermal formulation, this validation record is adapted to use the thermal coefficients a1 and a2 reported under the EU Ecodesign Regulation CDR 812/2013, which are provided directly in the collector datasheet.
