| solar collector drain back |
system in which the
collector fluid is allowed to drain back to storage whenever solar energy is
not being collected, i.e., when the fluid circulating pump is not operating |
| | |
| solar collector drain down |
system in which
the collector fluid is drained from the system under prescribed circumstances. |
| | |
| solar collector gross area |
maximum projected area of
the complete collector module including integral mounting means |
| | |
| solar collector loop heater | heater installed within
the collector loop when testing the solar domestic water heating system with a
nonirradiated array |
| | |
| solar collector tilt angle |
angle between the
horizontal plane and the plane of the collector aperture. |
| | |
| solar compensator |
1. device which takes into account the effect of
the sun’s radiation on a temperature-sensing element.
2. device that will reset the control point of
the space to compensate for changes in sun load. See control. |
| | |
| solar constant |
solar radiation
incident on a surface normal to the sun’s rays outside the earth’s atmosphere
at a distance from the sun equal to the mean distance between the earth and the
sun. Its value is approximately 433 Btu/h·ft2 (1367 W/m2). |
| | |
| solar energy |
radiant energy
originating from the sun. Approximately 99% of solar energy lies between
wavelengths of 300 and 3500 nanometres. |
| | |
| solar energy source |
source of thermal,
chemical, or electrical energy derived from conversion of incident solar
radiation |
| | |
| solar energy system |
configuration of equipment
and components used to absorb, convey, store, convert, and distribute the
energy from the sun |
