Figure 9 – SOLC220 heat loss modes

The collector heat loss front (7) and collector heat loss back (8) are dependant on the operating conditions of the solar thermal collector, i.e. primarily on the temperature difference between the collector module and the ambient air and wind speed. Applying equation 1 to the Dimplex SOLC220 collector the graph shown in Figure 10 can be de- rived.
