The Experiment of a New Type of Building Integrated Solar Radiant Heating System
Abstract
A heat pipe radiant heating system is discussed, combined with the building and solar energy by heat pipe. The system is composed with solar collector, heat pipe and radiant heating terminal. The heat pipe delivered the heat of solar absorbed by itself from outdoors to indoor and then heating the room by radiant. This paper adopts a combination of experimental and simulation to test and analysis the system. The results showed that the indoor average temperature can reach above 16 during the daytime in winter, and the temperature distribution is uniform. The system is an energy-saving and practical building integrated solar radiant heating system.
