Soiling and Cleaning of Polymer Film Solar Reflectors

Soiling and Cleaning of Polymer Film Solar Reflectors

This paper describes the accelerated ageing of commercially available silvered polymer film by contact cleaning using brushes and water in the presence of soiling created by dust and sand particles. These conditions represent cleaning regimes in real concentrating solar power (CSP) solar fields in a...
