Influence of the thermal trap material on the performance of a roof as an inexpensive collector/storage system

Applied Energy, 1985, vol. 20, issue 2, 117-121

Abstract: An analysis of the behaviour of a network of pipes buried in a flat roof, with a thermal trap material at its top, is presented. An analytical solution for the heat flux entering a room and the heat retrieved for two modes of operation--(a) constant flow rate and (b) constant collection temperature, as functions of meteorological, as well as design, parameters--has been derived.
