Numerical Study of the Solar Energy-Powered Embedded Pipe Envelope System

Abstract

This study introduces a Solar Energy-Powered Embedded Pipe Envelope System (SEPES) designed to enhance indoor thermal comfort and reduce heating loads during the heating season. To achieve this objective, a dynamic simulation model coupling a SEPES and building thermal environment was established under the TRNSYS environment. Based on the model, a case analysis was conducted to investigate the operational characteristics of the system during the heating season in a rural building in Beijing. The results indicate that, on the coldest heating day, the system can elevate the indoor temperature by 14.5 °C, reducing the daily heat load from 76.3 kWh to 20.3 kWh, achieving a remarkable energy savings of 73.4%. Additionally, due to the utilization of lower solar heat collection temperatures, the energy efficiency of the system reaches 26.9%. Throughout the entire heating season, the SEPES system enhances the natural indoor temperature by 13.3 °C to 16.6 °C, demonstrating significant effectiveness. Moreover, regional adaptability analysis indicates that the SEPES achieves energy savings ranging from 43.9% to 66% during the heating season in cold regions and regions with hot summers and cold winters in China. Overall, the SEPES is most suitable for climates characterized by both low temperatures and abundant solar radiation in order to achieve optimal performance.
