The Numerical Simulation of Using the Solar Chimney Strengthen Natural Ventilation

Abstract:

Our country building energy consumption is amazing, building ventilation energy consumption is about more than 20% of the whole energy consumption , its energy saving potential is very great, How to reduce ventilation energy consumption and still keep good indoor air quality, makes the indoor natural ventilation ways becoming the focus of attention. This paper studies the solar chimney，one of ways of solar strengthening natural ventilation，strengthening natural ventilation；At the same time use FLUENT software simulate solar chimney model，Analysis the calculated results, get a reasonable solar chimney thickness and the air flow to meet the indoor ventilated requirements, so as to provide theoretical basis for the practical application.
