BS EN IEC 62862-3-2:2018 Solar thermal electric plants - Systems and components. General requirements and test methods for large-size parabolic-trough collectors
What is BS EN IEC 62862 ‑ 3 ‑ 2 ‒ Large-size parabolic-trough collector about?
BS EN IEC 62862 ‑ 3 ‑ 2 is the second part of an international multi-series standard that covers components for solar thermal electric plants.
BS EN IEC 62862 ‑ 3 ‑ 2 specifies the requirements and the test methods for the characterization of a large-size parabolic-trough collector.
BS EN IEC 62862 ‑ 3 ‑ 2 covers the determination of the optical and thermal performance of parabolic trough collectors, and the tracking accuracy of the collector one-axis tracking system. This test method is for outdoor testing only.
BS EN IEC 62862 ‑ 3 ‑ 2 applies to parabolic-trough collectors equipped with the manufacturer-supplied sun tracking mechanism.
BS EN IEC 62862 ‑ 3 ‑ 2 gives specifications like terms, definitions, test requirements, instrumentations, test procedure, reporting format, etc. for large-size parabolic-trough collectors.
Note 1 : The test method in BS EN IEC 62862 ‑ 3 ‑ 2 does not apply to any collector under operating conditions where phase-change of the fluid occurs.
Note 2 : BS EN IEC 62862 ‑ 3 ‑ 2 applies to the whole collector.
