Thermal Balance of the Trombe Wall in the Climate of Central Russia
One of the systems of passive solar heating - the Trombe wall - is considered. It belongs to the elements of the solar architecture and is used as a buildingenvelope to reduce energy costs for its heating and ventilation. The existing empirical formulas for the calculation of the Trombe wall have satisfactory accuracyonly for the countries of Europe and the USA. In addition, they are tied to certain constructive solutions that are not suitable in the climate of central Russia. Theanalysis of the thermophysical processes taking place in the construction and the influence of climatic factors on them was carried out. The results of numericalmodeling of the design in the climatic conditions of central Russia and the results of calculating the savings in thermal energy when using the design in buildingsof different energy efficiency are presented.
