Simulation and Analysis of Thermal Performance of Internal Recycle Double Skin Facades

Abstract:

Simulation and analysis of heat transfer process in internal recycle double skin facades (DSF) of the established standard model were carried out by computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Comprehensive heat transfer coefficient under the condition of different ventilation rate of DSF with and without blinds was studied. The results show: the increase of the ventilation rate can not only improve the comprehensive heat transfer coefficient, but also improve the temperature of inner surface of the inner curtain wall. Double skin facades can improve the comfort level of the indoor environment, reduce the energy loss of the palisade structure and reduce energy consumption.
