Implementación de un banco de pruebas para evaluación de colectores solares térmicos de placa plana bajo la norma UNE-ISO 9806.

Abstract

The global trend in the use of renewable energies undoubtedly presents study proposals of great interest to researchers seeking to reduce dependence on conventional energy sources. Such is the case of the SCINERGY research group that, in 2017, began this project with the design of a test bench for flat plate solar collectors under the ISO 9806 standard and the bench's hydraulic system. In 2022, the purpose of this work is to implement a data monitoring, recording and analysis system that allows the test bench to be launched for the exclusive certification of flat-plate solar collectors under the technical standard ISO 9806:2017. This document describes: the sequence and execution of the structural tests required for homologation, the selection of sensors that compose the data acquisition system, the development of a programming code in LABVIEW that reads and registers variables of interest, the creation of the interface with its own user manual. Finally, the integrity of the test bench is evaluated by executing the certification process for a solar collector and the report formats are presented.
