Description

Reference product: selective coat, copper sheet, black chrome [m2]
Location: RER - Europe
Inventory for selective coatings of solar absorbers. For black chrome and black nickel the solar absorbance is a=0.91~0.98 and thermal emittance is e=0.06~0.14.

[The full documentation of this dataset was originally provided in the corresponding ecoinvent report from the Swiss Centre for Life Cycle Inventories, which is accessible for free to guests and users of ecoinvent version 2 (https://www.ecoinvent.org/login-databases.html). The dataset may subsequently have been subjected to central changes to the database, as described in the respective change report for each new release.]
[This dataset has been generated using the system model "Allocation, cut-off by classification". A system model describes how activity datasets are linked to form product systems. The allocation cut-off system model subdivides multi-product activities by allocation, based on a physical properties, economic, mass or other properties. By-products of waste treatment processes are cut-off, as are all by-products classified as recyclable. Markets in this model include all activities in proportion to their current production volume.
Version 3 of the ecoinvent database offers three system models to choose from. For more information, please visit: https://www.ecoinvent.org/database/system-models-in-ecoinvent-3/system-…)]

Technology

Black chrome coating with nickel underlay. Alkaline cleaning of copper to remove any oils on the surface. Neutralizing with the acid to remove any oxidation. Plating nickel on copper. Plating black chrome on the nickel plated copper. Wash and dry.
