Review of passive PCM latent heat thermal energy storage systems towards buildings’ energy efficiency

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore how and where phase change materials (PCMs) are used in passive latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems, and present an overview of how these construction solutions are related to building's energy performance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multi-dimensional optimization of the incorporation of PCM-drywalls in lightweight steel-framed residential buildings in different climates

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of PCM-drywalls in the annual and monthly heating and cooling energy savings of an air-conditioned lightweight steel-framed (LSF) residential single-zone building, considering real-life conditions and several European climates, is evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Review and future trends of solar adsorption refrigeration systems

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide the current state of the art of solar adsorption refrigeration systems operating with the single-bed intermittent cycle (also known as basic cycle).
Journal ArticleDOI

Energy efficiency and thermal performance of lightweight steel-framed (LSF) construction: A review

TL;DR: In this paper, the main features of lightweight steel-framed (LSF) construction with cold-formed elements from the point of view of life cycle energy consumption are described and some strategies for reducing thermal bridges and for improving the thermal resistance of LSF envelope elements are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Test of several versions for the k–ε type turbulence modelling of internal mixed convection flows

TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of confined, mixed convection airflow generated by two non-isothermal plane wall jets was investigated numerically and experimentally, and the velocity and temperature fields in a 1×1m2 cross-section cavity were reported.
