Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of physical property measurement, in particular to an unsteady-state measuring device and method for water vapor diffusion coefficient in the building field. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of the economy and the continuous growth of the population, the energy problem has become a major social problem faced by all mankind. At present, construction, industry, and transportation are listed as China's three major energy-intensive industries. Most of the building envelopes used are porous materials such as concrete, shale bricks, wood, etc. In hot and humid climates, there is a strong moisture migration process in the porous envelope, and its heat and moisture migration and moisture accumulation have an important impact on building thermal performance, building energy consumption, and indoor environment. For example, since the thermal conductivity of water is about 24 times that of air...

Problems solved by technology

However, due to the slow transfer of water vapor in porous building materials, a steady-state experiment takes several weeks, and only one water vapor diffusion coefficient can be measured in a steady-state experiment, and it may take several years to fully characterize the water vapor transfer performance of porous building materials. Therefore, the development of efficient and reliable unsteady test methods is of great significance for scientific research and engineering applications

[0005] Arfvidsson et al. established the quality of porous building materials when the relative humidity of the environment changes stepwise in "Building and Environment" 2000 3rd period (A transient technique for determining diffusion coefficients in hygroscopic materials, 2000, 35(3): 239-249). Test the experimental bench, and propose a method to calculate the water vapor diffusion coefficient with the Kirchhoff potential as the driving force based on the experimental data. The calculation results are consistent with the steady-state experimental results, but this method needs to obta
