PV-cells
PV cells are optional in the project, so they can either
be totally released or covered with them. In the first
case, neater visibility of the product will be achieved, as
well as increasing the heat transfer surface into inside
the solar chimney. In the second case, with a surface
covered of maximum 75%, more electrical energy is
achieved in order to supply the heat exchanger or fans.
Several dispositions of PV can be displayed in order
to focus on different purposes, such as the examples
described in Figure XX. However, a 50% covered facade
was chosen in order to achieve an optimum heat
capacity-electricity production relationship.
or inside the solar chimney product. The position of
the fan inside the room may cause some undesired
noises in the hospital, whereas in the interior of the
solar chimney may cause noises reverberation into the
module. The final selected location in the project was
inside the module, in order to decrease annoying noises
and construction interventions inside the building.
Insulation
Although the insulation in the module is not really
needed due to the building insulation, it can be placed
inside the module at the back plate in order to ensure
that there is not heat transfer from the chimney to the
building, especially in summer climate.
Fans
The exhaust fumes from the lower interior rooms can
be extracted by a fan, carefully placed inside the room
