A novel disinfected Trombe wall for space heating and virus inactivation: Concept and performance investigation

A review of facilities management interventions to mitigate respiratory infections in existing buildings

“…For instance, Korichi et al proposed a radiator panel heating system coupled to horizontal ground source heat pumps to provide cleaner heating for limited enclosed spaces, minimising the danger of airborne transfer via traditional HVAC systems [ 119 ]. Similarly, Xie et al proposed a solar-powered hybrid disinfected Trombe wall system with space heating and virus inactivation functions for dealing with return air in ventilation systems [ 120 ].…”

An updated review of indoor pollutant purification by solar photocatalytic ventilation wall: Materials, modelling and performance evaluation

“…The passive SPVW model of photocatalytic air purification and passive natural ventilation makes full use of the new wind circulation system to transport indoor VOCs (and formaldehyde) to the photocatalytic layer surface for waking up the photocatalytic oxidation decomposition. 56 Completing a round of natural convection heat transfer and realizing the degradation of pollutants, the product of inorganic salt and water then returns from the upper outlet into the indoor environment. 57 The unique structure of the solar ventilation wall, designed for winter insulation, allows for the transportation of inorganic salt and water to the indoor environment instead of outdoors.…”

Solar-thermal energy conversion prediction of building envelope using thermochemical sorbent based on established reaction kinetics

“…Some main parameters used in simulation are listed in Table 5. τg Transmittance of glass cover 0.9 [53] εg Emissivity of glass cover 0.85 [53] αTiO2, uv Absorptivity of catalytic layer on UV light 0.95 [45] εTiO2 Emissivity of catalytic layer 0.25 [46] αs Absorptivity of sorbent 0.85 εs Emissivity of form-stable sorbent 0.7…”

“…The standard k-ε, realisable k-ε, low Re k-ε, and laminar models are chosen and compared in terms of outlet temperature and outlet air flow rate of a Trombe wall system based on the experiment in Ref. [53]. It can be seen from Fig.…”
