ShareA numerical study of solar chimney for natural ventilation of buildings with heat recovery.

Type of article: Article
Summary
The computational fluid dynamics program was validated against experimental data from the literature. It was shown that in order to maximize the ventilation rate in a cold winter, double or even triple glazing should be used. Installing heat pipes in the chimney for heat recovery not only increased the flow resistance but also decreased the thermal buoyancy effect. To achieve the required air flow rates in naturally ventilated buildings with heat recovery, use should be made of wind forces.
