S UMMA R Y The thermal flux coming into an air-conditioned space through a 'Roof Radiation Trap System' has been evaluated. Numerical calculations have been performed corresponding to the meteorological data on 11 January at Boulder, Colorado (USA), a harsh North American winter day. Subsequent parametric studies using the simulation indicated that the critical parameters were the width of the air gap and that of the concrete roof through which the thermal flux passes into the room.

INTRODUCTION

The roof radiation trap concept developed by Givoni 1 for providing passive heating consists of a gap between the concrete roof of the building and an insulating layer; the southern side of the building being glazed and provided with a hinged insulating panel, internal or external, which can be closed or opened according to the need. During the day time, when solar radiation is incident on the south wall, the southern hinged insulating panel is opened. Solar radiation penetrates through the glazing and is absorbed by the concrete roof. Part of the absorbed energy is conducted through the roof and part is transferred to the air in the space between the roof and the fixed insulating layer. The heated air in the space is then

blown by a fan to gravel storage. During night time the hinged insulating panel on the southern side is closed to minimise thermal losses through the glazing. In the present paper we have developed a periodic analysis of the roof radiation trap concept. This has yielded expressions for calculating (i) the heat flux conducted into the living space, which is assumed to be at a constant temperature, OR, as a result of air conditioning, and (ii) the temperature of the air in the space between the concrete roof and the fixed insulating layer. For a numerical appreciation of the analysis we have performed calculations corresponding to the daily variations of solar intensity and ambient temperature on 11 January at Boulder, Colorado (USA), which experiences the harsh North American winter climate.

THEORY

The configuration of the system is shown in Fig. 1. The temperature distribution, O(x 1, t) inside the roof material is given by the solution of the one-dimensional heat conduction equation, i.e.,

Numerical calculations for the heat flux coming into the living space maintained at constant temperature and for the time variation of the air temperature in the space between the fixed insulating layer and the roof have been made assuming the daily variation of the ambient temperature and solar intensity on 11 January at Boulder (i.e. at 40.02 ° N latitude), 2 Colorado (USA), which experiences a harsh North American winter climate. The solar radiation incident on the south vertical glazing has been calculated from the data given on a horizontal plane using standard expressions.3 The Fourier coefficients of the ambient temperature, solair temperature, solar intensity on horizontal and south-facing vertical

Fig. 6. Time variations of the heat flux going into the air-conditioned space through the roof radiation trap with L 1 = 0 . 3 m , L 2 = 0 . 3 m and width of the air gap = 0 . 3 m , and through a single glazed roof of thickness 0-3 m.

space (which is maintained at 20 °C). Numerical'predictions corresponding to the meterological data for a typical harsh winter day, i.e. 11 January at Boulder, Colorado (USA) show that: (i)

in a r o o f radiation trap the air gap should have a width of 1.22 m for the average flux coming into the air-conditioned space (assumed to be at 20°C) to be positive; (ii) a r o o f radiation trap performs better than a Single Glazed R o o f with an air gap of width 0.30 m; (iii) the thickness o f the concrete roof, L 1, has a significant effect on the load levelling; and (iv) the thickness of the insulation layer does not affect the load levelling but influences the performance marginally.
