Abstract

The self-sufficiency of buildings is becoming increasingly important. Therefore, devices for natural ventilation, solar heating and cooling, ground cooling (earth- air heat exchangers), natural lighting, shading from the sun, and other devices that use a passive mode strategy have been developed. Sustainability-oriented choices that might in the pass have been considered to be optional are now necessary. In this work, thin film photovoltaic technology is utilized in buildings. An integrated photovoltaic /thermal (PV/T) air collector to collect hot air and drive air flow, and mixing the air flow from earth-air heat exchanger (EAHE) and hot air flow to the floor that is made of shape-stabilized phase change material (SSPCM) floor inside greenhouse, a SSPCM absorbs energy form solar light that enters through windows and solar panels. A piston cylinder air compressor adjusts the moderate control of air flow and the ambient temperature and temperature of room in the hybrid system. The hybrid system using natural ventilation in passive strategies designs an innovative HVAC system can be called “lung” of a building. The design process integrated with ‘‘whole building approach” and ‘‘new material” is used to analyze the theoretical performance of this building by energetic analyses for the weather in HsinChu. A mathematic model will be resolved by the helps of MATLAB 7.0 program and CFD software. The energy required by air-conditioning and thermal will be predicted. A finite difference-Fortran program (Hybrid-HVAC) is developed based upon the 2D unsteady heat equation with a Stefan moving boundary problem. This program is modified into a Hybrid-HVACP and should enable the hybrid system building with the PV/T、EAHE and SSPCM to be solved numerically with high accuracy.

The simulation results in this work reveal that if the difference between ground temperature and ambient temperature is less than 5 K, such as in HsinChu city, the HVAC results obtained using EAHE are unsatisfactory, and so EAHE yields better results in areas with large temperature differences.

I. Introduction

In Europe, almost half (about 40%) of all power consumed is associated with buildings, especially in their construction and maintenance, but mostly in their operation. Therefore, an increasing attention is being paid to the self-sufficiency of buildings, as demonstrated by the new European (and national) regulations concerning the energetic certification of buildings. Sustainability-oriented choices that could have been considered optional previously are now necessary. Therefore, energy is no longer something of interest only to researchers, but is now a ‘‘new consideration” in the design processes of architects and engineers.

This investigation concerns the weather in HsinChu city [1], and the application of thin film photovoltaic technology in buildings. An integrated photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) air collector for collecting hot air and driving air flow mixes the air flow from the earth-air heat exchanger (EAHE). Hot air flows to the floor that is made of shape-stabilized phase change material (SSPCM) floor inside greenhouse. SSPCM absorbs energy form solar light that enters through windows and solar panels. A piston cylinder air compressor adjusts moderate air flow and ambient and room temperatures in the hybrid system. The hybrid system using natural ventilation in passive strategies designs an innovative HVAC system can be called

“lung” of a building.

The literature on the PV/T integrated hybrid system is surveyed. Chow [2] analyzed the performance of a photovoltaic-thermal collector by using an explicit dynamic model and found a thermal efficiency of 60%.

Arrangements for utilizing thermal energy as well as electrical energy that include a photovoltaic module are referred to as the hybrid PV/T systems. The thermal energy that is obtained from the hybrid photovoltaic (PV/T) system is supplied to the greenhouse for heating.

Tiwari and Sodha [3] examined the thermal performance of a hybrid with photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) air collector. Nayak and Tiwari [4] studied the performance evaluation of a hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) integrated greenhouse system. They obtained a thermal efficiency of the hybrid

(7)

photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) air collector around 34%

and a thermal efficiency of the photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) without airflow is of 8.5%. The thermal efficiency of the PV/T air collector was increased by 25.5% by causing the air to flow. Barnwal and Tiwari [5]

investigated the design, construction and testing of a hybrid photovoltaic integrated greenhouse dryer. Dincer [6] studied the energetic performance of heating systems for building in two geothermal districts and found energy efficiencies of heating systems in the Balcova geothermal district and Salihli geothermal district of 39.36% and 59.31%, respectively. Dincer [7] examined the relationships between energy and exergy, energy and sustainable development, energy policy-making, exergy and the environment and exergy. In study of the hybrid system design, and the construction and testing of integrated hybrid photovoltaics, the work of Nayak and Tiwari [8] [9], Dincer [7] is drawn upon to conduct the theoretical analysis and that of Tsai [10] is used to design heat exchanger. The installation of a wall and floor made of the shape-stabilized phase change material (SSPCM) inside building has already studied by the present authors [11-12].

II. PHYSICAL AND MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS AND MODELING

III. NUMERICAL TECHNIQUE

1. Model room (with or without a roof)

The model room (with no roof) that is used in the analysis is a concrete chamber with dimensions of 3.9 m (length) x 3.3 m (width) x 2.7 m (height). The dimensions of earth-air heat exchanger (EAHE) are given above. (Fig. 3)

2. Input parameters of the model room and applying software

In this study, Gambit was used to construct a solid model and grid mesh, and then Fluent was used to solve the flow and thermal field. Table 1 presents all parameters of the building and material properties of SSPCM. Table 2 presents the conditions of environments outside the model room.

3. Establish grid cells

Fig. 4 presents cells in the grid mesh for this model room (with no roof).

4. Settings of the Fluent

The settings used in the Fluent software are as follows:

1. Solver :Segregated 2. Space:3D

3. Velocity formulation :Absolute 4. Gradient option :Cell-Based 5. Formulation :Implicit 6. Time :Unsteady

7. Unsteady formulation :1st-Order Implicit 8. Porous formulation :Superficial Velocity 9. Laminar

5. Initial conditions

Energy stored in the cycle is absorbed heat

The ambient temperature and pressure are 303 K and 1atm respectively. The temperature of SSPCM layer is assumed to be at a constant temperature 293 K, the optimal time (i.e. melting/fusing temperature) and its latent capacity is 265MJ/m3. The initial condition (t=0) of indoor air temperature is 303 K. On the contrary, Energy released in the cycle is lost heat

The ambient temperature and pressure is 289 K and 1atm respectively. The temperature of SSPCM layer is assumed to be at a constant temperature 303 K, the optimal time (i.e. melting/fusing temperature, and its latent capacity is 265MJ/m3. The initial condition (t=0) of indoor air temperature is 289 K.

Each time increment △t is 0.1 sec. Iterations are performed up to the specific time until the convergence criteria are satisfied.

The temperature 5m below the ground surface is kept constant at 298K.

6. Boundary conditions

The embedding macro files in the Fluent are used to set the boundary conditions and our case is unsteady. The maximum of solar radiation on the south wall is 900Wm-2 and in the HsinChu city, the wind in the summer is southern at 6 ms-1 and the average outdoor temperature is 302.96 K, in winter, the wind is southern 6.6 ms-1 and the average outdoor temperature is 288.9 K.

(Table 2)

7. Convergence criteria

To determine any number of flow field changes in the iterative process, the simulation convergence criteria in Table 3 are imposed.

8. Computational procedure of energy analysis Equations of the energy balance derived for greenhouse coupled with photovoltaic system and earth air heat exchanger (EAHE), have been solved with the help of a computer program, based on Matlab 7.1 software.

IV. Result and Discussion

A. Simulated temperature results of passive SSPCM

Energy stored in the cycle is absorbed heat

The ambient temperature and pressure are 303 K and 1atm respectively. The temperature of SSPCM layer is assumed to be at a constant temperature 293 K, the optimal temperature (i.e. melting/fusing temperature, and its latent capacity is 265MJ/m3. The initial condition (t=0) of indoor air temperature is assumed to be 303 K. At this time, initially t = 0, the indoor air temperature exceeds the temperature of the SSPCM layer. Then all SSPCM layers start to absorb heat.

Numerical results reveal that as time passes, the average indoor temperature decreases. The average indoor temperature drops from 303 K to 295.93 K within 60 minutes.

SSPCM + EAHE (indoor room temperature around 302.74 K)

In Table 4, the air temperature of EAHE rapidly reaches thermal equilibrium with the ground temperature, and temperature of air that moves from EAHE to the indoor space of the model room remained at around 302.74 K. Little change in air temperature occurs after the heat is exchanged through EAHE. Because the difference between the ambient temperature and the EAHE temperature is small. Figures.5 a-d plot simulated indoor air temperature vs. time (YZ plane at middle X) for the SSPCM + EAHE in an energy stored cycle.

Indoor air temperature does not fall but rises at t = 20 minute because SSPCM loses heat more slowly than does the air-out from EAHE, but later at t = 30 minute the indoor air temperature is in thermal equilibrium at 300.52 K.

On the contrary,

Energy released in the cycle is removed heat

The ambient temperature and pressure are 289 K, and 1atm respectively. The temperature of the SSPCM layer is assumed to be at a constant temperature 303 K, the optimal time (i.e. melting/fusing temperature), and its latent capacity is 265MJ/m3. The initial condition (t=0) of indoor air temperature is assumed to be 289 K. At this time, initially t = 0, the indoor air temperature is smaller than the temperature of the SSPCM layer, subsequently, all SSPCM layers start to release heat.

Numerical results reveal that as time passes, the average indoor temperature increases. The average indoor temperature increases from 289 K to 298.8 K within 60 minutes. This process produces heating effect at night time or in the winter.

SSPCM + EAHE (indoor room temperature around 291.35 K)

In Table 5, the air temperature of EAHE rapidly reaches thermal equilibrium with the ground temperature, and the temperature of air from EAHE to the indoor space of the model room remains at around 291.35 K. The air temperature changes only slightly

(9)

upon after the heat exchange through EAHE, because the ambient temperature and EAHE temperature differ only slightly. Figures 6 a-d plot simulated indoor air temperature vs. time (YZ plane at middle X) for the SSPCM+ EAHE in an energy released cycle. Indoor air temperature does not rise but falls at t = 20 minute because heat is absorbed by SSPCM more slowly than the air-out from EAHE, but later at t = 30 minute the indoor air temperature reaches thermal equilibrium at 294.42 K.

B. Comparison between numerical and analytical results for hourly variation of outdoor air temperature The above discussions of SSPCM concern idealized cases since the temperature of SSPCM was forced to be constant, therefore latent heat capacity causes melting or fusing in a short period of time, and the temperature difference between the average indoor temperature and indoor air temperature is large around 8 K to 9 K. In fact the average indoor temperature varies sinusoidal cycle with relation to optimal SSPCM temperature. The temperature differences between the average indoor temperature and indoor air temperature in both energy stored cycle and energy released cycle are around 2 K to 4 K. The analytical results have been reported by Xiao [13]. Therefore we can compare our numerical results with each other based upon the hourly variation of outdoor air temperature in HsinChu city on one day in July. (the indoor air temperature is simplified equal to outdoor air temperature). From Fig. 7 indicates that numerical and analytical results are mutually consistent.

C. Results of energy analysis

Eq. (4) has been used for calculating greenhouse air temperature under weather conditions for HsinChu city for the following case:

Photovoltaic is operated and earth air heat exchanger is operated for 24 hr for a typical summer or winter day.

Hourly variation of room air temperature when operated with earth air heat exchanger for 24 hr (with the operation of photovoltaic/thermal system) for a typical summer day is shown in Fig 8. In this case it is seen that room air temperature is around 4–5 K lower than the ambient air temperature at 4 pm, while it is 2–3 K lower at 4 am, due to continuous flow of cold air from earth air heat exchanger to the room.

Hourly variation of room air temperature when operated with earth air heat exchanger for 24 hr (with the operation of photovoltaic/thermal system) for a typical winter day is shown in Fig 9. In this case it is seen that room air temperature is around 3–4 K higher than the ambient air temperature at 1 pm, while it is 5–6 K higher at 5 am, due to continuous flow of hot air from earth air heat exchanger to the room.

Fig. 10 shows the variation of hourly useful thermal energy (MJ) when operated with photovoltaic (PV/T) system and with earth air heat exchanger (EAHE) for a typical summer day. It has been observed that at 12 pm,

useful thermal energy is calculated as 16 MJ with the operation of photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) system, while between 5 and 6 pm, the useful thermal energy decreases due to fall of temperature during evening.

And useful thermal energy continuously fall down to 4 MJ while between 3 and 4 am.

Fig. 11 shows the variation of hourly useful thermal energy (MJ) when operated with photovoltaic (PV/T) system and with earth air heat exchanger (EAHE) for a typical winter day. It has been observed that at 12 pm, useful thermal energy is calculated as 16 MJ with the operation of photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) system, while between 4 and 5 pm, the useful thermal energy decreases due to fall of temperature during evening. It then increases to 14.5 MJ with the operation earth air heat exchanger during night.

V. Conclusions

This study established a close to the actual physical situation in a hybrid system as a whole including sub-systems in this new analysis. The following conclusions are drawn:

(1) The hybrid system’s BIPV、TE、SSPCM heat sink and EAHE efficiency gains can ensure energy-efficiency and cleanness. They can also reduce the CO2 emissions.

(2) The hybrid system has the low total input power and its use constitutes an active approach to energy-saving.

(3) SSPCM consists of paraffin as dispersed PCM and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or another material as a supporting material. The total stored energy is comparable with that of traditional PCMs.

(4) SSPCMs of the ceiling and floor can use the same material, temperature range of 297 K to 300 K start energy stored cycle and temperature range of 289 K to 293 K start energy released cycle.

(5) Reducing the temperature difference between the ceiling and the floor to less than 4 K increases the comfortableness of humans.

(6) 297 K is the most comfortable temperature in the HsinChu area.

(7) The simulation results reveal that if the difference between the ground temperature and the ambient temperature is less than 5 K, such as in HsinChu city obtained results are unsatisfactory, so the use of EAHE in areas with a large temperature difference yields better results.

(8) The effect of EAHE is not superimposed on additive with the effect of SSPCM, many parameters need to be considered such as materials, size and operating characteristics, therefore the design optimization is needed.

(9)Working fluid air of EAHE may be replaced with water or refrigerant which has a much larger temperature range than air.

四、計畫成果自評

本研究承蒙國科會經費贊助,非常感

謝,也在參與人員努力下,有不錯成果。

研究內容預期達成目標情況為:

預期完成工作項目

(1)Develop physical/ mathematic models for the passive hybrid system (OK)

(2)MATLAB 7.0 program develop to gain the analytical

(14)

solutions of the passive hybrid system (OK) (3)Finite difference-Fortran program code Hybrid-HVACP programming (OK) (4)Energy & Exergy analysis methods (OK) (5)Heating/cooling,η,COP, ACH and HVAC performance of the hybrid system (OK)

本研究之主要成果:

(1) The hybrid system’s BIPV、TE、SSPCM heat sink and EAHE efficiency gains can ensure energy-efficiency and cleanness. They can also reduce the CO2 emissions.

(2) The hybrid system has the low total input power and its use constitutes an active approach to energy-saving.

(3) SSPCM consists of paraffin as dispersed PCM and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or another material as a supporting material. The total stored energy is comparable with that of traditional PCMs.

(4) SSPCMs of the ceiling and floor can use the same material, temperature range of 297 K to 300 K start energy stored cycle and temperature range of 289 K to 293 K start energy released cycle.

(5) Reducing the temperature difference between the ceiling and the floor to less than 4 K increases the comfortableness of humans.

(6) 297 K is the most comfortable temperature in the HsinChu area.

(7) The simulation results reveal that if the difference between the ground temperature and the ambient temperature is less than 5 K, such as in HsinChu city obtained results are unsatisfactory, so the use of EAHE in areas with a large temperature difference yields better results.

(8) The effect of EAHE is not superimposed on additive with the effect of SSPCM, many parameters need to be considered such as materials, size and operating characteristics, therefore the design optimization is needed.

(9)Working fluid air of EAHE may be replaced with water or refrigerant which has a much larger temperature range than air.

(10) Hourly useful thermal energy (MJ) when operated with photovoltaic (PV/T) system and with earth air heat exchanger (EAHE) for a typical summer day. It has been observed that at 12 pm, useful thermal energy is calculated as 16 MJ with the operation of photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) system, then the useful thermal energy decreases due to fall of temperature during evening. And useful thermal energy continuously fall down to 4 MJ while between 3 and 4 am.

(11) hourly useful thermal energy (MJ) when operated with photovoltaic (PV/T) system and with earth air heat exchanger (EAHE) for a typical winter day. It has been observed that at 12 pm, useful thermal energy is calculated as 16 MJ with the operation of photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) system, while between 4 and 5 pm, the useful thermal energy decreases due to

fall of temperature during evening. It then increases to 14.5 MJ with the operation earth air heat exchanger during night.

Numerical HVAC analysis of shape-stabilized phase change material plates coupling an active building envelope

system in a building

Bor-Jang Tsai、Sheam-Chyun Lin and Wei-Cheng Yang

Abstract—Effect of shape-stabilized phase change material (SSPCM) plates combined with night ventilation in summer is investigated numerically. A building in Hsinchu, Taiwan without active air-conditioning is considered for analysis, which includes SSPCM plates as inner linings of walls、 the ceiling and floor, and an active building envelope system (ABE) is installed as well in the room becomes the Hybrid system. Unsteady simulation is performed using a verified enthalpy model, with time period covering the summer season. In the present study, a kind of floor with SSPCM is put forward which can absorb the solar radiation energy in the daytime or in summer and release the heat at night or in winter. In the present paper, the thermal performance of a room using such floor、wall and ceiling were numerically studied. Results show that the average indoor air temperature of a room with the SSPCM floor was about 2 K to 4 K higher than that of the room without SSPCM floor, and the indoor air temperature swing range was narrowed greatly. This manifests that applying SSPCM in room suitably can increase the thermal comfort degree and save space heating energy in winter.

I. INTRODUCTION

Energy storage not only reduces the mismatch between supply and demand but also improves the performance and reliability of energy systems and plays an important role in conserving the energy [1, 2]. It leads to saving of premium fuels and makes the system more cost effective by reducing the wastage of energy and capital cost. One of prospective techniques of storing thermal energy is the application of phase change materials (PCMs). Unfortunately, prior to the large-scale practical application of this technology, it is necessary to resolve numerous problems at the research and development stage. One of problems is so called the Stefan problem [3]. The heat transfer characteristics of melting and solidification process arise in the presence of phase change and expressing the energy conservation across the interface.

A. Shape-stabilized PCM (SSPCM)

In recent years, the Stefan problem has been resolved, a kind of novel compound PCM, the, Shape-stabilized PCM (SSPCM) has been attracting the interests of the researchers [4–6]. Fig. 1 shows the picture of this PCM plate. It consists of paraffin as dispersed PCM and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or other materials as supporting material. Since the mass percentage of paraffin can be as much as 80% or so, the total stored energy is comparable with that of traditional PCMs.

Zhang et al. [7] investigated the influence of additives on thermal conductivity of SSPCM and analyzed the thermal performance of SSPCM floor for passive solar heating. To the authors’ knowledge, no research work reported in the literature has made on the performance of shape-stabilized PCM application coupling the active building envelope system (ABE) in buildings combined with night ventilation. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to perform a numerical analysis on the thermal effect of shape-stabilized PCM plates as inner linings on the indoor air temperature under night ventilation conditions in summer, coupling the ABE system in a building, and for overall system of the building based upon a simulated room; a generic enclosure, combined with the climate report of Hsinchu city, Taiwan, 0am~24pm, 1st ~6th July., 2008. [8] to investigate: (1) feasibility study of the hybrid system (2) heating capability analysis (3) cooling capability analysis (4) indoor temperature levels. For the sake of simplification, thermal performance is the only consideration.
