Short Duration Winter-Time Performances of Different Passive Solar Systems

摘要

The report describes the test building, instrumentation, data acquisition system and procedures, and test conditions for the two performance monitoring experiments. The report contains representative data from the two performance monitoring experiments and results from a preliminary analysis of the data, and compares the performance of the three test cells. The data presented include: solar radiation; wind speed and air infiltration; ambient and room air temperatures; average, centroidal, maximum and minimum room air temperatures in the direct gain and Trombe wall cells; cell floor surface temperatures; and auxiliary energy supplied. The report also contains predicted values of the ratios of various irradiation quantities and the auxiliary energy required to maintain the cells at 20C, and compares the predicted values with the measured data.
