This paper reports on the development of a conceptual design, construction and instrumentation of an experimental facility that can be used to carry out experimental research towards increasing energy efficiency in buildings. The overarching idea is to construct a system that emulates the scaled dimensions and materials of a typical building structure. The sub-scale testbed consists of a two-floor building configuration with dimensions of 1.2 m × 0.92 m × 1.1 m. The building structure is made out of wood, and covered with drywall and fiberglass insulation. Fixed walls are selected for the first floor whereas movable walls are incorporated into the second floor to study the effects of different room configurations. Four staircase openings enable airflow between the two floors. The second floor has a tiled-style ceiling and removable walls that allow for connectivity of sensors and actuators. A set of heating and cooling sub-systems, consisting of light bulbs and thermoelectric coolers connected to fans, are used for each room in the building. Both the set of light bulbs as well as the cooling system are powered through a relay box, and connected to a computer via LabVIEW which also interfaces the different sensing and actuating devices. The capabilities of the experimental facility are tested by implementing time-dependent heating- and cooling-processes and an on-off control strategy on a two-room prototype. Preliminary results demonstrate that the experimental testbed offers a reliable and versatile experimental system for research purposes.

Solar Absorption Cooling

As one of the most promising solutions to the reduction of fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, the use of solar energy for building space heating and cooling recently has again aroused researcher’s interest with the growing awareness of the global warming and other environmental problems. Compared to the relatively mature solar heating, solar cooling technology remains at the demonstration and testing stage due to its complicated system characteristics, both in concept and construction. Among many solar cooling technologies, solar absorption technology is the most suitable technology for the solar cooling. The major barriers to widespread deployment of the solar absorption cooling are its high first cost, the lack of guidelines of its design and operation, and the relative low system performance due to the lack of the system integration. The paper provides detailed information of an on-going solar heating and cooling research project conducted at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. The aim of the research is to develop a cost-effective and integrated solar heating and cooling system. The solar thermal system primarily includes a 45kW single effect absorption chiller, evacuated tube solar collectors (ET), and heat storage tanks. The system has been designed based upon scientific principles and engineering fundamentals. It has been analyzed and optimized to achieve the high cost-effectiveness and the high system efficiency through the system performance simulation in Transient Energy System Simulation (TRNSYS) program.
