Performance of coupled novel triple glass unit and pcm wall

Thermal performance of a double pane window with a solar control coating for warm climate of Mexico

“…The results shows that heat balance of the system 2 decreased up to 23% respect to the system 1. Ali Kara and Kurnuç [17] used a test room to study the effect of a triple glazing unit on performance of a wall with PCM. From the measurement the authors found that the solar transmittance ranged from 0.45 to 0.55 during the winter and from 0.2 to 0.25 during the summer.…”

Investigation on the properties of a new type of concrete blocks incorporated with PEG/SiO2 composite phase change material

“…The second is to use PCM brick. A hollow thermal-insulation brick, including clay bricks [26], glass bricks [9,27], and gypsum bricks [28] which have holes inside, is suitable to contain PCMs for indoor temperature control. The third is to produce PCM concrete.…”

Thermal Feature of a Modified Solar Phase Change Material Storage Wall System

“…With regard to the combination of solar energy application technology and PCM envelope structure, current researches and discussions mainly focus on PCM floor [8], PCM wall [9][10][11][12], and PCM roof [13,14]. Soares et al [15] demonstrated that the approach of combining solar energy utilization technology and PCM envelope structure can effectively reduce the room temperature fluctuation in solar energy building caused by lack of solar energy during the night or uncertain weather, thus enhancing the in-room thermal comfort.…”
