Effect of grape-drying rooms on thermal environment of adobe buildings in Xinjiang in summer

Analyses the effect of grape-drying rooms on the thermal environment of native adobe buildings in Turpan, Xinjiang. Investigates the characteristics of the thermal environment of the grape-drying room and its influence on the thermal environment of the lower space by the method of field measurement and software simulation. Under the condition of ensuring the suitable drying conditions, puts forward the strategies to improve the thermal environment of the drying room. The results show that the drying room has the characteristics of high temperature, strong radiation and large air exchange rate. The drying room can reduce the daily average air temperature of the lower space by 1.36 ℃. The addition of 0.8 m long overhanging eaves on the roof of the drying room can reduce the daily average temperature of the drying room by 0.3 ℃ and that of the lower space by about 0.2 ℃. Increasing the hole-opening rate of the drying room can reduce the temperature, and the hole-opening rate of 0.272 is the most reasonable. According to the specifications of adobe bricks and the hole-opening rate of the drying room, the hole size of 10 cm width and 15 cm height is the most suitable.
