Abstract

Commencally or potentially available selective and non-selective absorber surfaces for solar heat collectors are reviewed and the state-of-the-art of solar collector corrosion processes is outlined. The review of available published literature has indicated that a lack of quantitative information exists, relative to corrosion of collector surfaces. Available information (mostly qualitative) on durability aspects and corrosion of solar receiver surfaces is described to indicate potential corrosion problem areas and corrosion prevention possibilities. An outline of appropriate durability tests is presented.
