Calculating the Solar Heat Gain of Window Frames
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1999)It is not practical to measure the solar heat gain of a window frame. It is more practical to do so by calculation. Typically, the frame solar heat gain is a small component of the total or is small in absolute terms so ... -
A Correlation to Quantify Convective Heat Transfer Between Vertical Window Glazings
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1996)Several correlations have been used in recent years for the purpose of calculating convective, centre-glass heat transfer rates across gas-filled interpane window cavities. These correlations are examined and their background ... -
Overview of a Project to Determine the Surface Temperatures of Insulated Glazing Units: Thermographic Measurement and Two-Dimensional Simulation
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1996)A collaborative research project was undertaken to generate surface temperature profiles for the indoor side of seven different double and triple-glazed insulated glazing units exposed to the ASHRAE winter design condition. ... -
A study of insulated glazing unit surface temperature profiles using two-dimensional computer simulation
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1996)This paper describes one part of a collaborative research project, including both measurement and simulation studies, aimed at determining the surface temperature of a set of insulated glazing units (IGUs). In this study ... -
A two-dimensional numerical model for natural convection in a vertical, rectangular window cavity
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1994-12-31)It is common for sealed glazing units to exhibit condensation problems when operated in cold climates. Condensation often forms along the perimeter of the exposed surface of the indoor glazing because of the thermal short ...
