Development of a calorimeter for determination of the solar factor of architectural glass and fenestrations

Solar Heat Gain Coefficient Analysis of a Slim-Type Double Skin Window System: Using an Experimental and a Simulation Method

“…As a result, a variety of standards and research exist with regard to the devices and experimental conditions of real model tests [11][12][13][14]. Marinoski et al, devised a calorimeter for solar heat gain calculation of fenestrations [11], and Platzer analyzed the testing procedure with the comparison between calorimetric measurements and modeling [12]. Chen et al, presented not only a calorimetric box complying with international standards, but also how to measure SHGC of semi-transparent photovoltaic modules with the calorimetric box [13,14].…”

“…Apart from the method of calculating SHGC, until very recently, there had been no international standards concerning the criteria for experiments, as mentioned above. As a result, a variety of standards and research exist with regard to the devices and experimental conditions of real model tests [11][12][13][14]. Marinoski et al, devised a calorimeter for solar heat gain calculation of fenestrations [11], and Platzer analyzed the testing procedure with the comparison between calorimetric measurements and modeling [12].…”

A new method for the thermal characterization of transparent and semi-transparent materials using outdoor measurements and dynamic simulation

“…Han et al [17] made a comparative analysis of the outdoor performance of a semi-transparent PV faç ade with a conventional clear glass faç ade. Marinoski et al [18,19] built two different outdoor devices to evaluate the thermal characteristics of small sample and real size fenestrations, respectively. In both cases they evaluated the SHGC.…”

Development of a solar calorimeter for the thermal evaluation of glazing samples

“…This device can be developed in different configurations according to the needs or the type of samples available, because a standard for its development does not exist. In the last decades, many studies have been made about solar calorimetry: in most cases, the solar calorimeters were used in locations with cold climates, especially in North America and Europe (Collins and Harrison, 2004;Hakansson and Fredlund, 1999;Harrison and Collins, 1999;Lollini et al, 2010;Tait, 2006aTait, , 2006b, and only a few were used under humid/hot climatic conditions (Lollini et al, 2010;Marinoski et al, 2012). Many studies have been performed over the years to determine the SHGC and U-value of window glazing: in some studies, these parameters are determined from properties such as thermal conductivity (l) and the optical properties, and other studies determine them from experiments carried out using solar simulators (ISO 19467:2017(ISO 19467: , 2017Kuhn, 2014;Nowak et al, 2016) or testing window glazing directly with an normal incidence to the sun (NFRC 201:2014(NFRC 201: , 2014.…”

“…Tait (2006a) concluded that the thermal performance was mostly modified using accessories with standard glass, than high-performance glass. On the other hand, Marinoski et al (2012) developed a solar calorimeter mounted with a fixed angle to determine the SHGC of 3-mm clear glass samples with two different sizes. This study considered the heat flow removed by water circulation, the convective heat flow and long wave heat flow between the inner surface of the cavity blue and the glass; it also considered the loss of heat only through the backside of the surface cavity, whereas the loss of heat through edges was disregarded.…”
