Numerical Simulation Analysis of Hole Shape Design of Self-Thermal Insulation Perforated Brick

Abstract:

The hole shape design of perforated brick directly affects thermal insulation performance of wall. In order to study the influence of shape, size and configuration of perforated brick on the insulation performance, six kinds of perforated brick with different hole shape were designed, and their temperature field were simulated with finite element method. The results show that the insulation performance of perforated brick with square hole is the best. Filling brick holes with thermal insulation materials can improve the insulation performance of perforated brick, Besides; The thermal conductivity of perforated brick affects its thermal resistance, so brick materials with low thermal conductivity should be developed for the achievement of energy-saving standard of wall thermal resistance.
