摘要

This paper is an experimental study of a solar chimney coupled with Earth-to-Air Heat Exchanger (EAHE) system. The design hardware is Arduino monitoring systems. The work is intended to explore the thermal parameters of air movement of the system in six temperature points, five velocity points. The solar chimney draws on solar energy to improve airflow through the EAHE resulting in cooling. Depending fully upon prevailing outdoor temperature under controlled environment. Results suggest that temperature and velocity distribution vary in the chosen locations and show how solar radiation determines thermal dynamics of earth contact structures. And the air movement is enhanced by velocity measurement results because of solar chimney, which in- creases overheat exchange process efficiency. The experimental tools provide valuable data on the operating performance of solar chimney and EAHE systems that benefit sustainable building design, energy efficient design strategies.
