IEA SHC Task 38 Solar Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Subtask A Report, Date:… 3.2 Collector efficiency Basically the collector efficiency characterise the performances of the solar collector field. It is calculated as follows: With: coll Collector efficiency (-) Q sol G Solar energy collected in the solar loop (kWh) Solar radiation (kWh) This performance factor is calculated for a certain period. Usually it is calculated for one day, or for one month. Indirectly, the collector efficiency permits also to characterize the overall performances of the installation. Indeed, if the installation is turned off, because of a technical issue, or because there is no charge, the energy collected is equals to zero while the solar radiation is still there. So the collector efficiency value is low. 3.3 Thermal COP The thermal coefficient of performance (thermal COP) characterizes the internal performances of the chiller. This performance factor is calculated only in summer (cooling mode of the installation) as follows: With: Thermal COP Thermal coefficient of performance (-) Q evap Q gen Energy taken from the evaporator loop (kWh) Energy coming from the generator loop (kWh) Usually adsorption chillers have a thermal COP around 0.4 to 0.5 and absorption chillers have a thermal COP around 0.6 to 0.7. 3.4 Electrical COP The electrical coefficient of performance (electrical COP) characterizes the electric performances of the entire solar installation. This performance factor is calculated all year long as follows: With: Electrical COP Electrical coefficient of performance (-) Q distrib E tot Energy (hot or cold) given to the distribution loop (kWh) Electrical energy consumed by the solar system (except backups) (kWh)

IEA SHC Task 38 Solar Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Subtask A Report, Date:… This ratio is used to compare the performances of the installation to the performances of a conventional system such as heat pumps. 3.5 Primary Energy Ratio (PER) This performance factor characterizes the overall efficiency of the installation in terms of primary energy. It is the ratio between all the energies given to the user (heating, cooling, and DHW) and all the primary energies consumed by the system (including backups). The more this performance factor is high, the more the solar fraction is high and/or the overall efficiency of the installation is high.

It describes the fraction of energy savings of the solar system compared to a conventional system that provides the same service for heating, cooling and domestic hot water demand. It is calculated as follows: See the SOLERA deliverable No. D 6.1 for more explanation about the meanings of the different terms of the equation.

This r<strong>at</strong>io is used to compare the performances of the install<strong>at</strong>ion to the performances of a<br />

conventional system such as he<strong>at</strong> pumps.<br />

3.5 Primary Energy R<strong>at</strong>io (PER)<br />

This performance factor characterizes the overall efficiency of the install<strong>at</strong>ion in terms of<br />

primary energy. It is the r<strong>at</strong>io between all the energies given to the user (he<strong>at</strong>ing, cooling,<br />

<strong>and</strong> DHW) <strong>and</strong> all the primary energies consumed by the system (including backups).<br />

The more this performance factor is high, the more the solar fraction is high <strong>and</strong>/or the<br />

overall efficiency of the install<strong>at</strong>ion is high.<br />
