EFFECT OF SPECTRAL SKY RADIATION ON THERMAL PERFORMANCE OF SELECTIVE SURFACES.

Author(s) : SAKKAL F.

Summary

RESULTS HAVE SHOWN THAT IF THE SURFACE IS PROPERLY SELECTIVE IT CAN DISSIPATE MORE HEAT AND ASSUME A LOW EQUILIBRIUM TEMPERATURE. THE RESULTS CAN MOST APPROPRIATELY BE USED TO REDUCE THE ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF A BUILDING FOR COOLING. FOR EXAMPLE IT WAS POSSIBLE TO ATTAIN A TEMPERATURE DEPRESSION AS HIGH AS 20 K (20 DEG C)FOR AN ALUMINIZED POLYVINYL FLUORIDE FILM. A RADIATING RATE OF EXPOSED SURFACES HAS SHOWN THAT COOLING EFFECT COULD BE INCREASED BY USING PROPERLY SELECTIVE SURFACES.
