The effect of Trombe wall on indoor humid climate in Dalian, China

A new integral management model and evaluation method to enhance sustainability of renewable energy projects for energy and sanitation services

“…This technology can reduce buildings' energy consumption to a great extent (Göksal and Kartal, 2010;Hordeski, 2011) and finely adjust the indoor humidity (Chen et al, 2006). The wall absorbs diffused and direct solar radiation during the day and transfers the heat to the interior of the thick storage mass wall by convection or conduction at night (Agrawal and Tiwari, 2011;Torcellini and Pless, 2004).…”

Numerical investigation of the heating performance of normal and new designed Trombe wall

“…They found that a 20 cm thick concrete wall provides suitable indoor heating conditions (25 °C). Chen et al [4] studied experimentally the effect of the Trombe wall on the room air temperature. The results showed that in the southern part of the building the temperature in the test room increases 3-5 °C more than that in the reference room.…”

“…In the previous studies [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] the width of Trombe wall was equal to the room width which occupied the whole of the south room wall. Jaber and Ajib [17] studied numerically the optimal width of the Trombe wall system in the Mediterranean region.…”

Experimental study of the heating performance of a Trombe wall with a new design

“…Trombe walls have various types and applications including water Trombe wall and solar transwall (Saadatian et al, 2012;Nayak, 1987), solar hybrid wall (Saadatian et al, 2012;Yu et al, 2014), classic Trombe wall (Saadatian et al, 2012;Rabani et al, 2013;Okonkwo and Akubuo, 2007;Chen et al, 2006;Briga-Sa et al, 2014;Soussi et al, 2013;Wang et al, 2013), zigzag Trombe wall, Trombe wall with phase-change material, composite Trombe wall, fluidised Trombe wall (Saadatian et al, 2012), and PV Trombe wall (Saadatian et al, 2012;Chel et al, 2008). In this study classic Trombe wall with an innovative design has been investigated.…”
