A solar collector surface coated with a low emission material is still imported from other developed countries expensively. Thus it is very significant to develop a new coating method with a cheap alternative coating material instead of the imported high-cost collector surface. A thermal spray method was adopted to coat a cheap Titania on a copper plate. Generally, a new coating on the copper plate was conducted successfully by selecting a proper ratio of carbon and acetylene. By measuring an absorption rate of solar and heat emission rate, all the plate types gained a high absorption rate of 98% approximately, more or less, but all of the types still have a high emission. Finally it was clear that more research is needed to advance the coated-plate to subdue the high emission from the hot plate surface and the higher the Titania's proportion is, the lower the emission is on the surface.

The chemical composition of the black Cr solar selective coatings electrodeposited were investigated for property analysis by using a XPS(X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) before and after annealing in air at $300^{\circ}C{\sim}500^{\circ}C$ for 120 hours. Black Cr selective coating exposed by solar radiation for 5 months was compared with annealed sample. In addition, The Cu solar selective coatings were prepared by thermal oxidation method for low temperature application. The samples obtained were characterized by using the optical reflectance measurements by using a spectrometer. Optical properties of oxidized Cu solar coatings were solar absorptance $({\alpha}){\simeq}0.62$ and thermal emittance $({\epsilon}){\simeq}0.41(100^{\circ}C)$. In the as-prepared Cr black selective coating, the surface of the coating was found to have Cr hydroxide and Cr. The Cr hydroxide of the major component was converted to $Cr_2O_3$ or $CrO_3$ form after annealing at $500^{\circ}C$ with the desorption of water molecules. The black Cr selective coating was degraded significantly at temperature of $500^{\circ}C$. The main optical degradation modes of this coating were diffusion of Cu substrate materials.

태양열 집열기의 열손실은 크게 3가지 즉 상부 열손실, 하부 열손실, 측부 열손실로 대별되나 단열이 양호한 집열기에서는 일반적으로 측면으로의 열손실은 무시한다. 측부 열손실을 제외한 두 열손실 중에서도 상부 열손실은 집열기의 대부분의 열손실을 차지하는 지배적인 요소이다. 따라서 태양열 집열기의 집열 성능을 정확하게 파악하기 위해서는 상부 열손실 계수를 정확하게 계산할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서 사용한 평판형 태양열 집열기(재생기)는 하계에는 제습 및 냉방을 행하고 동계에는 난방을 행하는 전천후 집열판으로 제작되었다. 따라서 장치의 전환없이 겨울에 난방용으로 사용하였을 경우의 집열 성능을 파악하기 위하여 옥외에서 실험을 하였다. 동계 기간 실험을 통하여 본 집열기의 상부 열손실 계수는 약 $3{\sim}4.5W/m^2^{\circ}C$임을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 집열표면에 선택흡수막을 입혀서 난방용으로 사용하면 주위와의 복사 열손실을 크게 줄일 수 있기 때문에 본 집열기의 집열 성능을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
