Abstract

This research presents the TIS 899-2532 test of thermal efficiency of solar collector in solarsimulator installed at King Mongkutûs University of Technology Thonburi. Solar collector with differenttypes of insulator was tested and set the condition as outdoor test. The results showed that heat lostof foam fiberglass, sawdust and husk were 9.28, 11.99, 9.77 and 6.91W/m2K, respectively. It can beconcluded that the thermal efficiency test according to TIS 899-2532 of solar collector help shortenthe testing time. Since the tests were done under the same light condition and environment, thecomparative results are 90%.
