An experimental comparison of thermal energy storage in directly and indirectly radiated adsorbent beds integrated with solar thermal collectors

Energy Storage, Volume 6, Issue 3, April 2024.
Abstract Adsorbents heated using solar energy can be used to achieve thermal energy storage and sorption refrigeration with low environmental impacts. This research compares two different methods of heating adsorbents with solar energy to store thermal energy: (1) by exposing the adsorbents to incident light transmitted through a solar collector window,

Transient Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis of Passive Cooling in a Building with Diurnal Radiative Cooling Material Coated onto Its Rooftop

Energy Technology, Volume 12, Issue 2, February 2024.
Transient computational fluid dynamics calculations show that radiatively cooled rooftops can effectively reduce the temperature in underlying air channels. The cooled air descends through the air channel to the interior of the building while warmer air from the occupied zone of the building is circulated to the top of the air channel, keeping the ...
