IS 12933 : Part 2 : 2025 Solar Flat Plate Collector - Specification - Part 2 Components
1 SCOPE
1.1 This Indian Standard (Part 2) specifies the requirements for various components of solar flat plate collector for water heating.
1.2 This standard does not apply to the following:
a) Collector in whom heat transfer fluid may change phase (that is, heat pipe collectors and steam generating collectors);
b) Concentrating collectors, used in a system designed to generate mechanical energy/electricity;
c) Collectors in which the thermal storage unit is an integral part of the collector so that the collection and the storage processes cannot be separated;
d) Unglazed flat plate collector;
e) Installation or mounting of solar collectors; and
f) Tracking mechanism of the sun following collector system.
