Performance Analysis of the Photo-Thermal Composite Catalytic Trombe Wall and the Angle Control Strategy of Blinds
Solar thermal catalytic technology can use the sun's full spectrum to generate heat collection and purify formaldehyde.Photo-thermal composite catalytic technology is a highly efficient technology that can use solar light and heat to generate heat and formaldehyde degradation simultaneously.Thermal catalysis and photo-thermal composite catalytic technology composite blinds were applied to the Trombe wall system,which used sunlight to degrade indoor gaseous pollutants while heating.This paper established the heat and mass transfer model of the Trombe wall with thermal/photo-thermal composite catalytic blinds,and experimental verification was carried out.Based on the model,the optimal control strategy of blinds for the Trombe walls was explored under the meteorological parameters of Nanjing and Beijing winter solstice(9:00-17:00).The results demonstrated excellent agreement between the established heat and mass transfer model predictions and experimental data.Notably,regions require different optimal blind angles for identical Trombe wall systems with blinds.The heat generated and clean air at the best optimal blinds for the Trombe wall with thermal catalytic blinds were 5.6 MJ/d and 196.7 m3/d,respectively.In Beijing,they were 4.6 MJ/d and 167.9 m3/d,respectively.For the Trombe wall with photo-thermal catalytic blinds system,the heat generated and clean air at the best optimal blinds were 6.7 MJ/d and 205.6 m3/d,respectively.In Beijing,they were 5.4 MJ/d and 174.8 m3/d,respectively.Under the optimal louver angle control strategy,the heat and clean air generated in the winter in Nanjing was 1.20 and 1.05 times that of the Trombe wall with photo-thermal catalytic blinds system,and 1.17 and 1.04 times that of the Trombe wall with thermal catalytic blinds system when the system was located in Beijing.
