Effect of Energy Diaphragm Wall on the Coupled Heat and Moisture Transfer Behavior of Interior Side Walls
Current research on Energy Diaphragm Walls (EDWs),both domestically and international-ly,mainly focuses on heat exchange performance,with few studies addressing their impact on the thermal and moisture environment of adjacent underground buildings. This paper investigates the influ-ence of EDWs on the heat and moisture conditions of adjacent basement walls and the heat and mois-ture flux interaction with the indoor environment by establishing a 3D numerical model of coupled heat and moisture transfer. Results showed that the operation of the EDWs significantly changed the direc-tion and intensity of heat and moisture flow on the interior side walls. Although the impact of the mois-ture transfer process on wall temperature change was less than 0.2℃ compared to pure heat transfer re-sults,this small discrepancy can cause a prediction deviation of sensible heat flux density by more than 10%. Ignoring the latent heat flux can result in an underestimation of the total thermal load of the un-derground space by more than 2.4%. Moreover,the insulation layer effectively blocks the flux of heat and moisture into the indoor environment.
