Abstract
A numerical study of material, thickness and arrangement of thin layer ring has been comparatively conducted to achieve heat transfer enhancement in the building thermal storage system. The parameters of thin layer ring from three perspectives have been numerically investigated and optimized by the Taguchi method to find the optimal combination. Nine combinations of model are carried out by combining different levels of each factor, and ice generated area of each combination has been statistically analysed. The results show that material and arrangement of thin layer ring have the most significant impact on the ice formation, but the thickness of thin layer ring has trifling effects on the ice formation. From this study, the optimal combination (A3B2C1) is acquired, and the reproducibility of the results is verified by two analytical results.
