Testing of Water-Heating Collectors According to ASHRAE Standard 93-77

J. P. Jenkins / J. E. Hill

A proposed procedure for testing and rating solar collectors was published by the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) in 1974. In early 1977, the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) adopted ASHRAE Standard 93-77 which is a modified version of the NBS procedure. A test facility for water-heating collectors has been built at NBS in accordance with this Standard. The purpose of this paper is to briefly explain the recently adopted test procedure, describe the NBS test facility, and to give typical test results for collectors commercially available in the United States.
