Experimental study of different operation strategies of Trombe wall for summer cooling in Dalian

Analyses the temperature field and heat gain of advanced Trombe wall separately with five different operation strategies, and determines the better one in which the rolling curtain is pulled down in daytime and rolled up in nighttime, outer vents open for full day, and inner vents open and close automatically. The comparison results with the reference room show that applying this strategy can not only solve overheating problems in summer for Trombe wall, but also passively cool the room. For applications, puts forward some measures for improving cooling effect.
