A Numerical Analysis on a Solar Chimney with an Integrated Thermal Energy Storage with Phase Change Material in Metal Foam
2020
Overview
In this paper, a two-dimensional numerical investigation on a prototypal solar chimney system integrated with an absorbing capacity wall in a south facade of a building is presented. The capacity wall is composed of a high absorbing plate and an assigned thickness of phase change material in metal foam. The chimney consists of a converging channel with one vertical absorbing wall and the glass plate inclined of 2°. The channel height inside the chimney is equal to 4.0 m, whereas the channel gap is at the inlet equal to 0.34 m and at the outlet it is 0.20 m. The thermal energy storage system is 4.0 m high. The numerical analysis was intended to evaluate the thermal and fluid dynamic behaviors of the solar chimney integrated with a latent thermal energy storage system. The investigation has shown that in all cases PCM has not fully melted during the day and the presence of aluminum foam inside the box attenuates the variation of temperatures during the day. The results show that the three different thickness of the thermal storage system present very similar fluid dynamic and thermal behaviors. For the analyzed configurations, the phase change material does not reach a total melting during the considered day.
