"Receiver Heat Loss Efficiency" equation was created by Antonio

Hello, I would like to know what is the equation used to obtain the "Receiver Heat Loss Efficiency" in Design. I've tried to calculate it as:

(DNI·SCA Aperture Reflective Area ·Loop Optical Efficiency-Heat loss Design·Length of collector assembly)/(DNI·SCA Aperture Reflective Area· ·Loop Optical Efficiency)

but I don´t get the same value that SAM gets.

Thanks
