Eliis Road, Unit 4 <br /> Jacksonville, Florida 32254 <br /> This so1a�collector was evaluated by ihe Florida Solar Energy Center(FSEC)in aocordance wilh prescribed methods and was found to meet lhe <br /> mmimum standa►ds established by FSEC. This evaluation was based on solar collecto�tests pe►formed atthe Bodycate Materials Testing Canada <br /> 1 nc.,Mississauga,OMario.Canada. The purpose of the tests is to verNy i�itial peAormarxe cond'etions and quality oi construction only. The resuking <br /> certffication is not a guarantee of long term perfortnance or durability. , <br /> DESCRIPTION <br /> Gross Length 3.080 meters 10.10 feet <br /> Gross Width 1.200 meters 3.94 feet <br /> Gross Depth 0.079 meters 0.26 feet <br /> Gross Area 3.697 square meters 39.79 square teet <br /> Transparent Frontal Area 3.482 square meters 37.48 square feet <br /> volumetric Capacity 6.1 Iiters 1.6 galtons <br /> Weight{empty) 66.7 kilograms 147.0 pounds <br /> Recomme�ded Flow Rate , 76 mUs 1.2 gpm <br /> Test Pressure 1103 kPag 160 psig <br /> Number ot Cover Plates One <br /> Flow Pattem Parallel Forced Circulation <br /> Number ol Flow Tubes Ten <br /> MATERIALS <br /> Enclosure Aluminum trame,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 /> �nsulation Fal faced polyisocyanurate,32 cm thick <br /> THERMAL PERFORMANCE <br /> Tested per ASHRAE 93-1986 <br /> Incident Angle Modifier KTa = 1.0-0.19 (cose �) <br /> Efficiency Equations <br /> � = 72.0 - 501 (7i-Ta)/I �= 72.0 - 88 (Ti-Ta)/I <br /> � = 70.4 - 346 (Ti-Ta)/I - 1605 [(Ti-Ta)/I]� �= 70.4 - 61 (Ti-Ta�l - 50 [{Ti-Ta)/I� <br /> Units of (Ti-Ta)/) are °C/Wati/m2 Units ot (Ti-Ta)/I are °F/Btu/hr•ftp <br /> RATING <br /> The collectpr has been rated for energy output on measured performance and an assumed standard day.
