Energy-storage wall and solar greenhouse
The wall can effectively transfer heat emitted by the sun to the interior of the wall body and store the heat by the wall body, thereby effectively improving the heat storage amount of the...
View DetailsDuring the daytime, the heat preservation quilt is removed; thus, solar radiation energy can enter the greenhouse through polyethylene vinyl acetate film and irradiate the inner surface of north wall directly, causing a significant increase in north wall temperature, which can significantly increase the heat storage of north wall.
When the indoor air temperature of the solar greenhouse drops at nighttime, the proposed wall and the ordinary wall conduct stored energy back to the inner surface, which then transfers heat from the inner surface of the wall to the indoor environment through heat convection and heat radiation.
The heat storage and release capacity of the wall directly affects the indoor air temperature of the greenhouse. Previous research on the heat storage of solar greenhouse walls has shown that encapsulating and pasting PCMs onto the walls of the greenhouse effectively transfers the solar energy absorbed during the day to the interior of the wall.
Under typical sunny conditions, the greenhouse wall heat storage capacity increased by 1.59–2.44 MJ/m 2 and the heat release capacity increased by 0.97–1.17 MJ/m 2. At the direction of wall thickness, the temperature at each point inside the wall with the APHSWS is always higher than that of ordinary wall without the APHSWS.
At night, when the indoor air temperature of CSG decreases, the heat stored in the north wall is released gradually into the CSG. Then, the temperature difference between the middle layer of the wall and the inner surface of the wall reduces, leading to less heat into the greenhouse, which reduces the heat release capacity of the wall.
Yang et al. proposed two new types of prefabricated solar greenhouse wall structures to address the issue of insufficient insulation and heat storage capacity of the north wall of the greenhouse. The local traditional brick-mixed structure greenhouse was used as a reference for the experimental study.
