The first day is representative of typical summer conditions and the collectors are under storage load only, the second day is of atypical solar radiation with the same storage load and the third day represents a typical desiccant cooling load conditions e.g. storage in the morning and regeneration in the afternoon. Once the solar radiation in the collectors’ plane, the outside temperature, and the inlet temperature were recorded, the computed and measured collector outlet temperatures were compared. page 38

This accuracy is due to the fact that each component is taken into consideration by the model and the calculations are performed in each vacuum tube simultaneously (400 tubes). While collector outlet temperature can thus be predicted accurately in normal radiation conditions, it is very important to study the performance of the model for atypical conditions.

<strong>Solar</strong> Collectors<br />

Three different recorded days were used to valid<strong>at</strong>e the collector model. The first day is<br />

represent<strong>at</strong>ive of typical summer conditions <strong>and</strong> the collectors are under storage load only,<br />

the second day is of <strong>at</strong>ypical solar radi<strong>at</strong>ion with the same storage load <strong>and</strong> the third day<br />

represents a typical desiccant cooling load conditions e.g. storage in the morning <strong>and</strong><br />

regener<strong>at</strong>ion in the afternoon.<br />

Once the solar radi<strong>at</strong>ion in the collectors’ plane, the outside temper<strong>at</strong>ure, <strong>and</strong> the inlet<br />

temper<strong>at</strong>ure were recorded, the computed <strong>and</strong> measured collector outlet temper<strong>at</strong>ures were<br />

compared.<br />
