Thermal comfort increase using up cycled PET bottles shutters technology
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
An appropriate technology based on up-cycled PET water bottles utilization is presented. The bottles constitute the main constructive element of a shutters system. The most relevant expected application is to meliorate the interior thermal comfort on precarious residences, although many other potential applications can be considered. The designed shutters system has been exhaustively tested on real sun conditions in a medium irradiation area. For this purpose, a standard house environment has been emulated using a 1:30 scale insulated chambers endowed with a window pane. The experimental module, equipped with a monitoring system, has been duplicated in order to avoid systematic uncertainties. The effect of both empty and water-filled PET bottles shutters over the internal thermal comfort has been evaluated. This effect has been tested over the chamber interior temperature and its correlation with the ambient temperature and the irradiation level has been measured. The effects on the internal illumination are included even if further analysis is required.
