REVIEW OF SOLAR ABSORBER PLATE TYPES AND CONFIGURATIONS WALLS USED IN SOLAR CHIMNEY

ABSTRACT

One of the best and cheapest techniques used by renewable solar energy sources to lower energy consumption in buildings is the use of natural ventilation in solar chimneys. Multi experimental and numerical studied have been conducted by using permitted fresh energy, such as wind energy, solar energy, in the distribution of clean energy. The solar chimney operating modes utilized in building envelopes are loosely categorized into three types: Trombe (vertical) wall solar chimney, roof solar chimney and Combining both (Trombe and Roof) solar chimney. This study gives a simple review of the literature on various types and configurations of absorber plat that used in the solar chimney in the building envelopes with inner air layers. The existing applications and technologies of solar chimney in walls, windows, and roofs are summarized and outlined. The results of all of these experimental and numerical researches are relevant to the regulation of energy in the case of absenteeism of available source of energy in order to reward energy loss by releasing or storing it. Finally, the current review study contains three various types of solar chimney reviews, including computational research, experimental testing, and numerical investigations.
