Experimental Investigation on Heat Transfer and Air Flow Behavior of Latent Heat Storage Unit in a Facade Integrated Ventilation System
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021) Pekdogan,T.; Tokuç,A.; Ezan,M.A.; Başaran,T.
All-air central HVAC systems are widely applied to provide fresh and conditioned air, which is very important for users to lead healthy and productive lives. Decentralized systems are another mechanical solution to ensure indoor air quality and thermal comfort with a heat recovery ventilation system integrated into the building wall. These commercially available systems store sensible energy in the heat exchanger. In this study, an experimental real-size staggered tube bundled prototype with phase change material (PCM), which stores latent thermal energy, was proposed/designed and full-scale experiments were carried out in laboratory conditions. The experimental setup includes two spaces that simulate indoor and outdoor conditions that are separated by an insulated aerated concrete wall. In the prototype, two ducts embedded in the wall contain staggered tube bundles filled with PCM, which are positioned perpendicular to the airflow to recover heat for supply and exhaust ventilation modes. The thermal performance of this prototype is investigated for different operating times, namely, 15, 20, and 30 min. The average air energy change of the latent heat recovery ventilation system values is between 20 and 35 kJ approximately for the operating times. The supply mode efficiency result is an average of 50% and exhaust mode efficiency is 25%. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd

Experimental Investigation of a Decentralized Heat Recovery Ventilation System
(Elsevier Ltd., 2020) Pekdoğan, Tuğçe; Tokuç, Ayça; Ezan, Mehmet Akif; Başaran, Tahsin
Indoor air quality is an important issue for improving and maintaining the indoor environment because it is directly related to people's health and work performance. These days, in many settlements, the applicability of natural ventilation is limited in the face of the decreasing infiltration loads, increased atmospheric pollution, and the climatic conditions. Therefore, the use of mechanical systems that are designed to ensure proper ventilation is becoming widespread. This paper presents full-scale experimental research of a wall-integrated decentralized ventilation system with heat recovery in the laboratory conditions. The heat recovery unit includes a ceramic block for sensible thermal energy storage. Parametric experimental studies were carried out to obtain the temperature distributions and the thermal capacity of the ceramic block during the supply and exhaust modes of working. In order to simulate the winter and summer conditions, two large scale temperature-controlled rooms are built up. The duration of the ventilation period is varied to be 1, 2, 5, 7.5 and 10-min. Experimental measurements indicate that 2 min of operation time shows the best thermal performance in terms of maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature with the least energy consumption. And some shortcomings were observed about the fan and thermal storage limitations. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd

Thermal Performance of Different Exterior Wall Structures Based on Wall Orientation
(Elsevier Ltd., 2017) Pekdoğan, Tuğçe; Başaran, Tahsin
Heat transfer from opaque walls of buildings is very important for energy saving and providing thermal comfort in different climates. In this study, insulation models of opaque walls with different orientations and external, internal and sandwich materials were numerically analyzed in terms of their time-dependent thermal behaviors. The one-dimensional transient heat conduction equation was solved via the implicit finite difference method for summer and winter conditions and northern, southern, eastern and western orientations. Meteorological data for cities in Turkey with different climates, i.e., Ankara, Erzurum, İstanbul and İzmir, were used in these calculations. When the outside boundary conditions were defined by using January and July monthly averages of the daily data; the inside air temperature was assumed to be 20 °C and 24 °C in winter and summer. The results indicated that sandwich wall insulation produced more convenient heat loss and heat gain for each climate and direction. The standard deviations of the heat transfer values for the different directions were larger in summer than in winter because of the solar radiation effect. The numerical calculations for the sandwich wall applications were carried out for different insulation thicknesses namely 0.15 m and 0.25 m, and for an uninsulated wall; the results were also compared with Turkish directive on the thermal insulation of buildings, TS825 taken as a reference condition. Compared with the insulation thickness calculated based on the TS825, the heat loss and gain values could be decreased by up to 65% and 80% for the worst winter and summer conditions.
