Hi,

Can I ask for the equation used in calculating the Receiver Heat Loss Efficiency which is used for the Total loop conversion efficiency calculations? Thank you very much

Hello,

The equations for the calculated design point parameters are in SAM's Help system under CSP Parabolic Trough, Physical Trough Model, Solar Field (or press the F1 key from the Solar Field input page), then scroll down to the "Equations for Calculated Values" section of the Help topic.

Best regards,
Paul.
