Introduction
To effectively select, use and maintain a material in a given application, its degradation under service
conditions must be predicted prior to use. Preferably, the durability of the material should be expressed
quantitatively in terms of an expected service life. Durability in this case is the ability of a material
to withstand deterioration caused by external factors in the environment, which may influence the
performance of the material under service conditions. Service life is defined as the period of time after
installation during which specific material properties important for the performance of the material
meet or exceed minimum acceptable values.
The service life of a material is, thus, not solely dependent on its physical and chemical properties, but
also on its performance requirement in the application considered, and on the external environmental
factors, which influence performance under service conditions. In design work, the important question
is if a specific material can be expected to have a service life longer than a certain value, the so-called
design service life; the latter dictated by life cost considerations taking into account the total system.
Service life assessment may be based on feed-back data from practice or on results from so-called
qualification or acceptance durability tests.
The present recommended qualification procedure for solar absorber surface durability is based on the
conduct of a series of short-term durability tests. During a test the optical performance of the absorber
surface tested is determined by measuring its solar absorptance and thermal emittance. From the loss
in optical performance of the absorber surface, its failure time in the test performed is assessed and
compared with the shortest acceptable failure time set by the design service life of the absorber. Design
service life, performance requirement defining failure time in terms of loss in optical performance,
classification of type and levels of environmental stress are set under the assumption, that the absorber
surface tested will be installed in a vented flat plate solar collector for use in domestic hot water systems
and combisystems or under similar operating conditions.
The recommended qualification procedure may favourably be used in the development and validation
of new kinds of absorber surfaces. From the results of tests, it can be concluded whether it is likely that
an absorber surface tested may meet the requirement for an acceptable service life also in practice.
The recommended durability testing procedure has proved to give results in fairly good agreement,
both qualitatively and quantitatively, with what has actually been observed on absorber surfaces tested
for longer time periods in solar collectors working under conditions corresponding to that in a typical
domestic solar hot water system or combisystem. Nevertheless, if the tested absorber could not be
qualified by present procedure, a more comprehensive investigation on durability is recommended and
can still lead to a qualification.
The present procedure consists of three parts to test the absorber with respect to its stability against
high temperature, against high humidity and condensation and against corrosion caused by atmospheric
sulfur dioxide. The three parts are independent and can be assessed individually.

change in performance of an absorber surface in terms of changes in solar absorptance and thermal

4 Requirements and classification
4.1 For classification of the durability of the absorber surface, the following performance requirement
shall apply:
PC=−ΔΔαε+≤05,,00 05 (1)
s
where
Δα is the change in the solar absorptance defined as
s
Δα = α − α (2)
s s,t s,i
with α equal to the value of the solar absorptance at the actual time of the test or at service, and
s,t
with α equal to the initial value of solar absorptance
s,i
where
Δε is the change in the thermal emittance
Δε = ε − ε (3)
t i
with ε equal to the value of the thermal emittance at the actual time of the test or at service and
t
with ε equal to the initial value of thermal emittance.
i
NOTE 1 This performance criterion function is primarily based on location averaged values of the performance
[4]
of typical solar domestic hot water systems and combisystems. But, in the IEA Task 10 testing procedure
referred to, a slightly different definition of PC is used, namely PC = −Δα – 0,25 × Δε. Investigations made by the
s
[9]
IEA MSTC group, however, showed that a weighting factor of 0,5 for the thermal emittance is more appropriate.
NOTE 2 Higher values for the PC function may be used if considered more appropriate. PC < 0,10 should mean
that the optical performance of absorber surface, and thus also the performance of solar domestic hot water
system and combisystems, is allowed to be reduced to a level equal to 90 % of its original value during the design
[4]
service life time period.
4.2 Before durability testing of an absorber surface, all test specimens, sampled and prepared as
specified in 5.1, shall be characterized with respect to their value for solar absorptance, determined as
specified in 5.2, and their value for thermal emittance, determined as specified in 5.3.
To be qualified for testing, the set of test specimens shall have a standard deviation in the determined
values for solar absorptance of less than 0,01 and for the determined values of thermal emittance a
standard deviation less than 0,04.

4.3 For coated absorber surfaces, three extra test specimens shall be prepared and the adhesion of
coating on those test specimens shall be assessed, as specified in 5.5.
For the absorber to be qualified for testing, the adhesion of coating shall be > 0,15 MPa for all test
specimens (ISO 4624).
NOTE If considered accurate enough, the adhesion of the coating may be assessed by a more simple method.
[1]
The method of ISO 2409 may be used and the requirement for satisfactory adhesion be set at the degree of 1.
[2]
Alternatively, some suitable method in ISO 2819 may be used.
4.4 For an absorber surface to be qualified with respect to its thermal stability, the procedure of
durability testing as specified in Clause 6 shall be applied.
An absorber surface with sufficient thermal stability shall meet the requirement for test results as is
specified in 6.4.
4.5 For an absorber surface to be qualified with respect to its resistance to condensed water when used
in a non-airtight solar collector with more or less uncontrolled ventilation of air in the solar collector, the
procedure of durability testing as specified in Clause 7 shall be applied.
An absorber surface with sufficient resistance to condensed water shall meet the requirements for test
results as are specified in 7.4.
4.6 If an absorber surface should be qualified with respect to its resistance to degradation caused by
sulfur dioxide as an airborne pollutant, the procedure of durability testing as specified in Clause 8 shall
be applied (optionally).
An absorber surface may be qualified for use in two classes of solar collectors; the two classes
representing different severity classes as regards atmospheric corrosivity.
Solar collector of type A: Airtight solar collector or solar collector with controlled ventilation of air in
the space between the absorber surface and the cover plate. At the top and at the bottom of the frame
of the solar collector, it should be equipped with ventilation holes. The atmospheric corrosivity at the
bottom part of the solar collector under service conditions may typically correspond to a corrosion rate
2
of zinc of 0,1 g/m per year.
Solar collector of type B: Non-airtight solar collector with more or less uncontrolled ventilation of air
in the solar collector. The atmospheric corrosivity at the bottom part of the solar collector under service
2
conditions corresponds to a corrosion rate of zinc of 0,3 g/m per year.
An absorber surface with sufficient resistance to degradation caused by sulfur dioxide in high humidity
air, either regarding only a type A solar collector or regarding both type A and type B solar collectors,
shall meet the requirements for test results as are specified in 8.6.
5 Test methods for assessing material properties as measure of absorber perfor-
mance
5.1 Sampling and preparation of test specimens
For durability testing, test samples with an absorber surface area of preferably (50 × 50) mm shall be
prepared. Sampling from larger pieces of absorber plate shall be made in such a way that variation in
the optical properties between the different test specimens is minimized. Three extra test samples are
also required for the assessment of the adhesion of the coating of un-aged test samples. For execution
of the complete programme of durability tests of this recommended procedure, a minimum of 18 test
samples are required.

5.2 Sample conditioning
Determine the mean of solar absorptance and the mean of thermal emittance of three samples. Determine
the possible maximum absorber temperature for a collector covered with anti-reflection (AR) coating
according Table B.1. Temper all 18 samples at this maximum absorber temperature for at least 5 h with
an apparatus similar to that described in 6.2. Test three test samples for adhesion according to 5.5 and
proceed with the other 15 test samples if they pass the test.
5.3 Solar absorptance
Determine the value of the solar absorptance for each of the 15 test samples from reflectance
measurements as specified in A.1. For the complete set of test samples calculate also the mean value and
standard deviation of solar absorptance.
5.4 Thermal emittance
Determine also the value for the thermal emittance for each of the 15 test samples as is specified in A.2.
For the complete set of test samples calculate also the mean value and the standard deviation of thermal
emittance.
5.5 Adhesion
Determine the adhesion of the absorber coating either according to ISO 4624 (use the general method
for testing both rigid and deformable substrates when selecting test assembly and use test cylinders
with a diameter of 20 mm) or by means of a simpler method for assessment of adhesion (see 4.3) and
proceed as specified in the relevant standard.
6 Tests for assessing the thermal stability of absorber surfaces
6.1 Principle
6.1.1 High-temperature ageing is frequently used in many technical application areas for the assessment
of thermal stability of materials. A high temperature accelerates all kinds of processes, normally leading
to an increased rate of degradation of materials. For a selective absorber coating composed of small metal
particles, a high temperature enhances oxidation of metal decreasing mainly the absorptance of coating.
6.1.2 When installed in a single-glazed flat plate solar collector, an absorber surface is exposed to
a temperature which may
