Heat transfer in glazing system edge-seals: calculations regarding various design options.

Author(s) : WRIGHT J. L., ABREU P. F. de, FRASER R. A., SULLIVAN H. F.

Summary

A methodology for expressing measured and calculated edge-seal conductance levels is examined. Two-dimensional simulation models for a wide range of edge-seal types are reviewed. These models were previously developed and refined on the basis of measured heat transfer data. The refined models are used to quantify limitations in the edge-seal thermal resistance measurement and subsequent data reduction. In addition, the models and information uncovered during their development are used to examine the thermal performance of an assortment of edge-seal design options that have more recently been considered for commercial introduction.
