THERMAL Plate Unglazed Flat Plate 1423 Gunn Highway COLLECTOR ...„� Odessa, FL 33556 USA www.theleveredge.com TYPE: CERTIFICATION ft: 00258C Original October 01, 2009 Certification: i Expiration Date: October 01, 2029 i This solar collector was evaluated by the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) in accordance with prescribed methods and was found to meet the minimum standards established by FSEC. This evaluation was based on solar collector tests performed by an FSEC approved laboratory. The purpose of the tests is to verify initial performance conditions and quality of construction only. The resulting certification is not a guarantee of long term performance or durability. This collector has been rated for energy output on measured performance and an assumed standard day. Total solar energy available for the standard day is 5045 Watt-hour/m= (1600 Stud) distributed over a 10 hour period. i COLLECTOR THERMAL PERFORMANCE RATING (Collector Tested per ASHRAE 96) Kilowatt-hours (thermal) Per Panel Per Day Thousands of Btu Per Panel Per Day iCategory Inlet Low 30°C Intermediate 50°C High 100"C Category Inlet Low 86'F Intermediate 122°F High 212°F ENERGY OUTPUT 11.1 I 4.6 0.0 ENERGY OUTPUT 38.0 15.6 0.0 COLLECTOR SPECIFICATIONS Gross Area: 3.534 m' 38.03 fN DryWelght 8 kg 18 lb Net Aperture Area: 3.530 m' 38.00 fe Fluid Capadty: 9.5 liter 2.5 gal Absorber Area: 3.534 m' 38.03 fe Test Pressure: 414 kPa 60 psi TECHNICAL INFORMATION Tested In accordance with: ASHRAE 96 Efficiency Equation [NOTE: Based on gross area and (P)=Ti-Ta] SI UNITS: i Wind speed (u) < 1.5 m/s, Temperature (Ti — Ta) in 'C.
