Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of testing and verification of building energy-saving engineering, and specifically relates to a test device for the heat transfer coefficient of a building envelope structure that can simulate solar radiation. Background Art
[0002] As the main factor affecting building energy consumption, the heat load of the envelope structure has great energy-saving potential. Optimizing its test method and accurately evaluating its thermal performance are particularly important. The existing on-site test methods for the heat transfer coefficient of building envelope structures are mainly the hot box method and the heat flow meter method:
[0003] The principle of the hot box method is to create an artificial one-dimensional heat transfer environment. The inner side of the measured part is simulated with a hot box to keep the air temperature in the hot box and the indoor air temperature consistent, and the other side is the outdoor natural condition, maintaining a certain temperature difference between the hot box and the outdoor. In this way, the heat flow of the measured part always transfers from the indoor to the outdoor. When the heating amount in the hot box reaches equilibrium with the heat transfer amount through the measured part, the heat transfer amount of the measured part is obtained by measuring the heating amount of the hot box.
[0004] The heat flow meter method uses a heat flow meter and temperature sensors to measure the heat flow value and surface temperature passing through the component, and calculates the thermal resistance and heat transfer coefficient of the component through calculation. Its principle is to artificially create a temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, arrange heat flow meters and thermocouples on the inner and outer surfaces of the test part, collect the signals of the heat flow meters and thermocouples through corresponding data acquisition equipment, convert them into heat flow values and temperatures through computer processing, and then calculate the heat transfer coefficient of the test part. For specific references, please refer to the following technical literature:
[0005] Li Honghui, Huang Yuanyang, Zhuang Zihao. Discussion on on-site test methods for the thermal performance of building envelopes and their influencing factors [J]. Building Energy Efficiency, 2009, 37(11): 5-8.
[0006] However, neither of the above two test methods can simulate the influence of solar radiation on the on-site test results of the thermal performance of building materials. The heating effect of solar radiation, the variable radiation angle, and the lighting duration will change the heat flow direction, affect the heat gain of building materials, and thus affect the overall thermal performance of the building.
[0007] Therefore, in order to more accurately test the heat transfer coefficient of the building envelope structure, a test device for the heat transfer coefficient of a building envelope structure that can simulate solar radiation is designed in the utility model. Summary of the Utility Model
