Abstract

A new or an old conventional cavity wall has a selective coating (2) applied to its external surface to produce high solar absorptivity but low longwave emissivity. Glazing (1) is mounted spaced from the outer wall (3). Heat produced by the absorption of solar radiation on the selectively coated surface passes by conduction through the outer wall into the cavity. Air flowing from an inside room to the bottom of the cavity (7) is heated and exits at the top of the cavity to the external environment through ducts at the top of the glazing (8). <IMAGE>

Description

SOLAR HEATED CAVITY WALL FOR VENTILATION This invention relates to the use of a solar-heated cavity wall for ventilation. Cavity walls are a standard form of construction in the building industry, and consist of two leaves of a bilking material (such as brick, block or concrete), with a cavity in between. The leaves are often of 100my thickness, the cavity has in the past been 50mm in width.
On sunny days the outer leaf of such a wall will be warmed by the sun, and conduct heat to the building interior. The efficiency of such heat transfer is however reduced by large heat losses from the unprotected external face.
Special solar heat storage walls have been built, which utilise a massive outer leaf, painted matt black, to store incident solar radiation. The outer surface has been covered by glazing to reduce the convective and radistive heat losses. Special selective coatings of low emissivity for long wave radiation, and high absorptivity for short wave radiation have been used to increase the performance of these walls.
According to the present invention these features are applied to a conventiona' cavity all, either newly built or as a retrofit to an existing one. To the external surface of this wall, a selective coating, a framework, and glazing is applied. A suitable air gap separates the glazing from the wall. Heat is conducted through the outer leat into the cavity, and air pasting from an interior into the cavity, is heated and exits t the to? of tne cavity to the external environment.
A specific embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example, and reference is made to the accompanying drawing in which Fig. 1 shows a section of wall Fig. 2 shows a wall in pers?ective from the front Fig. 3 shows a wall in perspective fron the back The external leaf of this wall (3) is built of 102.5rum brick, and faces south. It has a selectively coated foil (2), adhering to its front surfce. and an air Zsp nf 100mm between that surface and the single glazing of normal glass in a suitable sealed framework (1). Heat from the absorption of solar radiation passes through the wall by conduction and enters the cavity (45. This is of 50rim thickness, and the rear leaf of the wall is built of 100 > m aerated concrete blocks (6). 25zm thickness of an insulating material, such as fibreglass or polystyrene foam (5) is fixed to the cavity side of the blocks. Internal air enters the cavity via small ducts (7) in the bottom of the wall, is heated and rises up the cavity, to exit to the external environment through a duct at the top (8).

Claims (1)

  1. CLAmS
    1. A solar heated cavity wall for ventilation, built from standard construction materials, with a selective coating material applied to the front surface of the outer leaf. Such a cavity wall has a thin outer leaf of a building material, the outer surface of which is provided with a window frame and glazing and the surface covered by the selective coating.
    Solar radiation transmitted through the glazing heats the outer surface of the cavity wall, this heat passing solely by conduction through the outer leaf into the wall cavity. Ducts are provided in the top of the outer leaf and in the bottom of the inner leaf to enable internal air to flow to the bottom of the cavity where after heating it exhaustc directly to the external environment from the duct at the top of the cavity.
