Solar assisted natural ventilation with heat pipe heat recovery.

Author(s) : SIREN K., RIFFAT S., AFONSO C., et al.

Summary

Natural passive stack ventilation consumes no power and so produces no harmful emissions, has no running cost, no noise of operation, requires little maintenance and because it involves no moving parts, operation is reliable. However, virtually all passive stack ventilation systems are designed and constructed without incorporating heat recovery, leading to wasteful heat loss. The goal of the research reported here, is to develop a passive stack ventilation system with heat recovery for use in naturally ventilated buildings, based on the heat-pipe principle.
