SUMMARY INFORMATION SHEET � <br /> FLORIDA SOLAR ENERGY CENTER November 2002 <br /> 1679 CLEARLAKE ROAD, COCOA, FLORIDA 32922-5703 (321)638-1000 FSEC#00090N <br /> MANUFACTURER <br /> Collector Model <br /> Altemaie Energy Technologies, LLC AE-40 <br /> 1057 N. Ellis Road, Unit 4 <br /> Jacksonville, Fiorida 32254 <br /> This soiar collector was evaluated by the Florida Solar Energy Center(FSEC)in accordance with prescribed methods and was tound to meet the <br /> mmimum standards established by FSEC. This evaluation was based on solar collector tests per(ormed atihe Bodycote Materials Testing Canada <br /> I nc.,Mississauga,Ontario,Canada. The purpose of the tests is to verify initial periormance condrtions and quatity of construction only The resulting <br /> certitication is not a guarantee of long term perfomnance or durability, <br /> DESCRIPTION <br /> Gross Length 3.080 meters 10.10 teet <br /> Gross Width 1.200 meters 3.94 feet <br /> Gross Depth 0.079 meters 0.26 teet <br /> Gross Area 3.697 square meters 39_79 square feet <br /> Transparent Frontal Area 3.482 square meters 37.48 square feet <br /> Volumetric Capacity 6.1 liters 1.6 gallons <br /> Weight(empty) 66.7 kilograms 147.0 pounds <br /> Recommended Flow Rate 76 ml/s 1.2 gpm <br /> Test Pressure 1103 kPag 160 psig <br /> Number of Cover Plates One <br /> Flow Pattern Parallel Forced Circulation <br /> Number of Flow Tubes Ten <br /> MATERIALS <br /> Enclosure Aluminum frame,aluminum back <br /> Glazing Tempered low iron glass,0.40 cm thick <br /> Absorber Copper tubes welded to copper fins <br /> Absorber Coating Selective coating <br /> Insulation Foii faced polyisocyanurate, 3_2 cm ihick <br /> THERMAL PERFORMANCE <br /> Tested per ASHRAE 93-1986 <br /> Incident Angle Modifier KTa = 1.0-0.19 I �-11 <br /> � cos9 ) <br /> Efficiency Equations <br /> r� = 72.0 - 501 (Ti-Ta)/1 �= 72.0 - 88 (Ti-Ta)/I <br /> � = 70.4 - 346 (Ti-Ta)/I - 1605 [(Ti-Ta)/t]� r�- 70.4 - 61 (Ti-Ta)/1 - 50 [{Ti-Ta)/I]� <br /> Units of{Ti-Ta)/l are °C/Watt/m2 Units ot (Ti-Ta)/I are °F/Btu/hr•ft2 <br /> RATING <br /> The collector has been rated for energy output on measured performance and an assumed standard day.
