Table 1 Uncertainty analysis of the TES system.
From: Performance assessment of thermal energy storage system for solar thermal applications
Parameter | Instrument used | Measurement range | Accuracy | Uncertainty |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Temperature | RTD sensor | − 200 °C to 650 °C | ± 0.5 °C | ± 0.2% |
Mass flow rate | Flow sensor | 0.5 to 25 L per minute | ± 2% | ± 1.5% |
Heat transfer rate | Derived from temperature and mass flow rate data | – | – | ± 3% |
