Life time for solar collectors for solar heating plants

Three high-temperature solar collectors intended for solar heating plants will be studied. Having been in use for many years, the solar panels will be measured in terms of efficiency. Two of the solar panels will be examined for corrosion in the absorber pipes. On that basis, HT solar panel life times in solar heating plants will be assessed at high constant flows and variable flows, respectively.
