Selective absorber coatings for solar thermal collectors and reflector coatings for Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) plants are the key components of these technologies and their durability is one of their most important characteristics. They should be low cost and withstand 20-30 years under different kinds of environments without significant loss of optical performance. Commercially, there are different physical vapour deposition (PVD) coatings for aluminium absorbers and reflectors. Results obtained with two commercial PVD solar absorber coatings (SA) and two solar reflector coatings (SR), under different accelerated aging tests (AAT), are presented and correlated with outdoor exposure. An Outdoor Exposure Testing (OET) site with maritime and industrial influence was used for an exposure campaign of the absorbers and reflectors for two years. Alternative artificial aging tests are proposed for absorbers and reflectors that better reproduce the corrosion mechanism obtained in natural conditions with maritime and industrial influence. The characterization of the coatings and degradation mechanisms of different aluminium absorbers and reflectors were evaluated optically, morphologically and chemically. The results obtained in an atmosphere with high corrosivity as in marine and/or industrial areas are a reliable way to verify the corrosion resistance of new materials in a short time and are a valuable tool to validate the different methodologies of accelerated aging tests. info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion |
