Thermal characteristics of water-flow double-pane window

Numerical research on thermal performance of water-flow window as hospital curtain-wall

“…The hospital under investigation is a major comprehensive public hospital, with total floor area of 367,000m 2 and 2000 beds in operation. The outlook of the hospital is shown in Fig.2.…”

Behaviour of a SPD switchable glazing in an outdoor test cell with heat removal under varying weather conditions

“…Admitted solar radiation through glazed building envelope increases a major portion of the total cooling load [3]. To avoid overheating by solar gain due to solar radiation, a building can (i) have small solar aperture [4], (ii) have high thermal mass or other heat sinks [4], (iii) have an appropriately coated glazing [4], (iv) have high natural ventilation rates [4], (v) include blinds at windows, (vi) include switchable glazing to give variable control solar gain through glazing [5][6][7][8][9][10], (vii) include forced circulation heat removal by air [11][12][13] or water flow [14][15][16][17] on the glazing's outside surface or between the two glass panes.…”

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

“…For this purpose, there exist a wide range of glazes that can be used in buildings, particularly the double pane window (DPW) has been proposed as an alternative to the traditional single layer window. Several studies about DPW are available in the literature aiming to determine their thermal performance with different fluids, which are encapsulated in the cavity formed by the glass [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Some relevant studies about DPW are described below.…”
