Study on the Control Strategies and Parameters for Climate Responsive Elements
Abstract
In this paper, thermal characteristics and operating condition of one kind Climate responsive elements so-called Wall-mounted Solar Air Collector (WSAC) was experimentally and theoretically analyzed. Proposed a Optimal operating condition of time-vary Variable Air Volume (VAV) for WSAC with consideration of building energy consumption by studying the relation of solar irradiance and air flow with WSAC transient thermal efficiency and net efficiency. Operation mode of Constant air volume air supply, variable air volume air supply and intermittent air volume air supply was studied in Physical experiments room to explore the WSAC thermal performance and energy-saving effect, results showed that: In considering of the WSAC net efficiency, the operation of variable air volume air supply net efficiency is more than other air supply means, and compare to Constant air volume air supply savings energy 63%, also available a best control operation mode along with the changing of solar irradiance.
