Research Abstract

Solar energy is considered alternative crucial to fulfilling the increasing of energy requirements. Passive cooling systems are considered alternatives to mechanical ventilation systems. In this work, a highlight for a solar chimney with water heater and Phase Change Material is applied as a passive solar technique for cooling building integrated with short wind tower for low energy building in the hot arid climate. This paper aims to investigate the performance of new passive air condition system with the solar chimney and solar water heater as a full system for cooling air and heating water to be applied during day and night time based on the improvement of the solar chimney in Assiut climate, Egypt. Measurements, for air temperatures and surface temperature of the aluminium and air velocity inside the chimney, water temperature and room temperature were conducted with different solar radiations to evaluate the …
