Abstract

This article is devoted to a review of one of the most effective systems among passive heating systems - the Trombe Wall. The main objective of this study is to revise the current potential of the Trombe Wall for cold climates. This article discusses the main subspecies of the Trombe Wall. A qualitative assessment of the cold climatic conditions use possibility was given for each subspecies. There were analyzed the most interesting studies on each structural element of the Trombe Wall, the possibility of using the Trombe Wall in high-rise buildings. The Trombe Wall effect on the exterior of the whole building was evaluated. A brief technical and economic assessment of the Trombe Wall in cold climatic conditions was carried out to determine the economic potential in this work. Based on the results of the review, the main gaps and problems of the Trombe Wall in cold climatic conditions using were identified, and the most appropriate constructive solution for this was put forward. The main directions for future studies of the Trombe Wall were established such areas as improving the Trombe Wall thermal protection, the influence of the adjustable heat transfer coefficient on the Trombe Wall thermal efficiency, developing a mathematical model that takes into account the combined operation of the Trombe Wall with the central heating source of heat.
