Share of Solar Chimney in Global Industry : Insights, Development and Research 2017-2020
Solar chimney is also called as a thermal chimney. It a is a way to enhance the natural ventilation of buildings through convection of air by solar energy. A solar chimney is a vertical tower using solar energy to increase the natural stack ventilation of a building. Solar chimney\'s contains three essential elements such as a glass roof collector, chimney and wind turbine. Solar radiation heats the air through a circular glass roof open at the periphery and forms a hot air collector. Twenty four hours continuous operation can be carried out by placing water filled tight tubes under the roof. The water gets heated during the day and emits heat in the night. These tubes are filled with water only once and no extra quantity of water is required. Vertical chimney lies at the center of the roof with huge air inlets at the bottom. The joint between the base of the chimney and the roof is airtight. As warm air is lighter than cold air, it rises up to the chimney. A suction process take...
