An Experimental and Analytical Study of a Radiative Cooling System with Unglazed Flat Plate Collectors
Abstract
On an average about 40% of world energy is used in residential buildings and the largest energy consumption is allocated to the cooling and air-conditioning systems. So every attempt to economize energy consumption is very valuable. In this research a nocturnal radiative cooling system with flat plate solar collectors in a humid area, Babol, Iran, is assessed both experimentally and numerically. Different methods available in the literature are reviewed and by using a widely accepted model, the sky temperature is determined. The mathematical model for a flat plate solar collector is used as a guideline to derive the governing equations of a night sky radiator. Then, a cooling loop, including a storage tank, pump, connecting pipes, and a radiator has been studied experimentally. The water is circulated through the unglazed flat-plate radiator having 4 m2 of collector area at night to be cooled by convection and radiation to sky. The experiments were carried out at various mass flow rates and in different weather conditions and the results have been compared to those of the theoretical model. The results indicate that water temperature decreases 7--8°C and the average net cooling will be ranged from 23 to 52 W/m2, as the mass flow rate increases from 0.01 to 0.05 kg/s.

“Furthermore, when using the technology actively, parameters such as the flow rate of the heat storage medium can be controlled [220,221,223,229], allowing higher exploitation (higher recovery speed), especially during periods when the potential is high, thus using the available resources in a timely manner.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
