Abstract

A Trombe wall with thermal catalytic blinds (TC-Blind/TW) for indoor heating/cooling, air purification and shading was proposed. In this paper, we has fully explored the advancement and feasibility of the system from thermal catalytic material preparation and performance testing, system construction and system steady state experiment testing, system heat-mass transfer model establishment and verification, and finally to the analysis of system operation strategy. The main conclusions are as follows: Firstly, thermal catalytic material MnOx-CeO2 behaved excellent heating and purification performance, the formaldehyde degradation followed L-H model. Secondly, the thermal efficiency and formaldehyde single-through conversion of system during the daytime were between 35%-55% and 32%–42%, respectively. Thirdly, the established heat-mass transfer model had the high accuracy, with the maximum RSMD of 0.8%. Finally, the blinds turning angle has a great influence on the system performance, then the optimal annual operation angles in four cities were suggested. Take Beijing as an example, the annual generated clean air was 11355.6 m3/m2, the reduced heating and cooling loads were 341.2 and 318.3 MJ/m2, respectively.
