4、PECIAL NOTEThis American National Standard (ANS) is a national voluntary consensus standard developed under the auspices of ASHRAE.Consensus is defined by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), of which ASHRAE is a member and which has approved thisstandard as an ANS, as “substantial agre
5、ement reached by directly and materially affected interest categories. This signifies the concurrenceof more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that aneffort be made toward their resolution.” Compliance with this
6、 standard is voluntary until and unless a legal jurisdiction makes compliancemandatory through legislation.ASHRAE obtains consensus through participation of its national and international members, associated societies, and public review.ASHRAE Standards are prepared by a Project Committee appointed
7、specifically for the purpose of writing the Standard. The ProjectCommittee Chair and Vice-Chair must be members of ASHRAE; while other committee members may or may not be ASHRAE members, allmust be technically qualified in the subject area of the Standard. Every effort is made to balance the concern
8、ed interests on all ProjectCommittees.The Manager of Standards of ASHRAE should be contacted for:a. interpretation of the contents of this Standard,b. participation in the next review of the Standard,c. offering constructive criticism for improving the Standard, ord. permission to reprint portions o

24、)FOREWORDASHRAE Standard 93 provides a test procedure wherebysolar energy collectors can be tested both indoors and out-doors to rate the collectors in accordance with their thermalperformance and to determine their time constants and thevariations in their efficiency with changes in the angle of in
25、ci-dence between the suns direct rays and the normal to the col-lector aperture. The standard carefully defines its applicabilityto both liquid-cooled nonconcentrating and concentrating col-lectors and collectors that use air as the heat transfer fluid.First published in 1986, the Standard 93 was re
26、affirmedin 1991 and again in 2003. This revision of the standardbrings it into agreement with ISO Standard 9806-1. The testprocedure for performance remains the same as in previouseditions, but additional methods for calculating performanceefficiency from the recorded data have been added. Whereaspe
27、rformance was previously calculated based on gross areaand inlet fluid temperature, in this edition of the standardthree new methods of calculation are provided. Now perfor-mance can be calculated based upon (1) gross area and aver-age fluid temperature, (2) absorber area and inlet fluidtemperature,
28、 and (3) absorber area and average fluid temper-ature. In addition, the way in which the heat-capacity timeconstant is determined has also been changed to align in withISO 9806-1. In earlier editions this constant was determinedby exposing the collector to thermal stabilization, then cover-ing it. T
29、he heat capacity was found as function of how quicklythe collector cooled. In this edition, however, the collector iscovered to achieve thermal stabilization and then it is uncov-ered under exposure. The heat capacity is found as a functionof how quickly the collector heats up. Finally, various edit
30、o-rial corrections have been made, and the standards refer-ences have been updated to the most recent editions.This is a reaffirmation of Standard 93-2010. This stan-dard was prepared under the auspices of ASHRAE. It may beused, in whole or in part, by an association or governmentagency with due cre
31、dit to ASHRAE. Adherence is strictly on avoluntary basis and merely in the interests of obtaining uni-form guidelines throughout the industry.This version of thereaffirmation has no changes.1. PURPOSEThepurposeofthisstandardistoprovidetestmethodsfordetermining the thermal performance of solar energy
32、 collec-tors that use single-phase fluids and have no significant inter-nal energy storage.2. SCOPE2.1 This standard applies to nonconcentrating and concen-trating solar collectors in which a fluid enters the collectorthrough a single inlet and leaves the collector through a singleoutlet.2.1.1 Colle
33、ctors containing more than one inlet and morethan one outlet may be tested according to this standard pro-vided that the external piping or ducting can be connected soas to provide effectively a single inlet and a single outlet.2.2 The heat transfer fluid may be either a liquid or a gas butnot a mix
34、ture of the two phases.2.3 This standard contains methods for conducting testsoutdoors under natural solar irradiance and for conductingtests indoors under simulated solar irradiance.2.4 This standard provides test methods and calculationprocedures for determining steady-state and quasi-steady-state
35、 thermal performance, time, and angular response char-acteristics of solar collectors.2.5 This standard is not applicable to those collectors inwhich the thermal storage unit is an integral part of the col-lector to such an extent that the collection process and thestorage process cannot be separate
36、d for the purpose of makingmeasurements of these two processes.2.6 This standard does not apply to:(a) those unglazed solar collectors that can be tested inaccordance with ASHRAE Standard 96-1980 (RA89)1and(b) those collectors in which the heat transfer fluidchanges phase and the leaving transfer fl
37、uid containsvapor. However, a suggested test procedure is givenin Appendix I for those phase-change collectorswith an integral heat exchanger that conform to thedescriptions in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 of this standard.3. DEFINITIONS AND NOMENCLATURE3.1 Definitionsabsorber: the absorber is that part of
38、the solar collector thatreceives the incident radiation energy and transforms it intothermalenergy.Itmaypossessasurfacethroughwhichenergyis transmitted to the transfer fluid; however, the transfer fluiditself can be the absorber.absorber area: the absorber area is the total heat transfer areafrom wh
39、ich the absorbed solar irradiance heats the transferfluid or the area of the absorber medium if both transfer fluidand solid surfaces jointly perform the absorbing function.air mass: the air mass is the ratio of the mass of atmospherein the actual earth-sun path to the mass that would exist at seale
40、vel if the sun were directly overhead.angle, acceptance: the angular zone within which radiation isaccepted by the receiver of a concentrator. Radiation is said tobe accepted because radiation incident within this anglereaches the absorber after passing through the aperture. ASHRAE (www.ashrae.org).

42、and the normal to the aper-ture plane.apparent solar time: time based on the apparent angularmotion of the sun across the sky, with solar noon the time thesun crosses the meridian of the observer.area, aperture: the aperture area is the maximum projectedarea of a solar collector through which the un
