Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) conducted an in-depth assessment of problems encountered with the Owens-Illinois SUNPAK liquid evacuated tube solar collector installed in several ERDA solar system demonstration sites. The assessment included analysis and independent tests of the collector in the MSFC Solar Simulator where the system failure conditions were duplicated. The assessment showed the basic design of the SUNPAK collector to be sound; however, material limitations dictate that near-term applications constraints be recognized by system designers. Subsequent retrofit activity by Owens-Illinois appears to have been effective in demonstrating the integrity of the SUNPAK collector. (ERA citation 04:010052)
