+This component computes the heat loss from the solar thermal collector to the
+environment.
+It is designed for use with ratings data collected in accordance with
+ASHRAE Standard 93.
+A negative heat loss indicates that heat is being lost to the environment.
+</p>
+
+<h4> Model description </h4>
+<p>
+This model calculates the heat loss to the ambient, for each segment
+<i>i &isin; {1, ..., n<sub>seg</sub>}</i> where <i>n<sub>seg</sub></i> is
+the number of segments, as
+</p>
+<p align=\"center\" style=\"font-style:italic;\">
+Q<sub>los,i</sub> = -slope A<sub>c</sub> &frasl; n<sub>seg</sub>
+  (T<sub>env</sub>-T<sub>flu,i</sub>)
+</p>
+<p>
+where
+<i>slope &lt; 0</i> is the slope for the heat loss as specified in the ratings
+data, <i>A<sub>c</sub></i> is the collector area, <i>T<sub>env</sub></i> is
+the environment temperature, and <i>T<sub>flu,i</sub></i> is the
+fluid temperature in segment <i>i &isin; {1, ..., n<sub>seg</sub>}</i>.
+</p>
+<p>
+This model reduces the heat loss rate to <i>0</i> when the fluid temperature
+is within <i>1</i> Kelvin of the minimum temperature of the medium model.
+The calculation is performed using the
+<a href=\"modelica://IBPSA.Utilities.Math.Functions.smoothHeaviside\">
+IBPSA.Utilities.Math.Functions.smoothHeaviside</a> function.
+</p>
+
+<h4>Implementation</h4>
+<p>
+ASHRAE uses the collector fluid inlet temperature to compute the heat loss
+(see Duffie and Beckmann, p. 293).
+However, unless the environment temperature which was present during the
+collector rating is known, which is not the case, one cannot compute a
+log mean temperature difference that would improve the <i>UA</i> calculation.
+Hence, this model is using the fluid temperature of each segment
+to compute the heat loss to the environment.
