Enhancement of natural ventilation in a solar house with a solar chimney and adsorption cooling cavity.

Author(s) : DAI Y. J., WANG R. Z.

Summary

Technical analyses were carried out to investigate ventilation in a solar house with a solar chimney alone, a cooling cavity alone or with both a solar chimney and a solar adsorption cooling cavity. It was found that on a typical day, the solar house, comprising a 2.5 m2 solar chimney, is able to create an airflow rate of more than 100 kg/h in a 20 m2 room. In addition, the ventilation rate at night is also increased by about 30-40% with the solar adsorption cooling cavity. It is expected that the proposed concept will be useful in a stand-alone building or in a cluster of buildings for certain favourable climates.
