"Receiver Heat Loss Efficiency" equation

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

Hi Antonio,

Please provide more information about what model you are using and what specific values you are seeing and expecting, and if possible attach a copy of your .sam file.

Best regards,
Paul.

I would like to know what is the equation used to obtain the "Receiver Heat Loss Efficiency" in Design too.

Hi Rentaro,

Please tell me what model you are using, and what input page this value is on.

Best regards,
Paul.
