Abstract

A wall with auto-adjusted heat transfer coefficient based on the outdoor temperature is introduced. The mechanism of the bimetallic strip wall with auto-adjusted heat transfer coefficient was given. The thermal performance of the variable thermal resistance layer in different conditions was preliminary tested. The results s how that when the temperature of the heating layer is steady at about 40˚C, under the high and low thermal resistance conditions, the mean heat transfer coefficient of the variable thermal resistance layer is about 11 w/(m 2 •K) and 15 w/(m 2 •K) respectively. The function of automatic adjustment of heat transfer coefficient of wall has been preliminarily achieved. The maximum change rate of the heat transfer coefficient of the wall is 36%. This paper provides fundamental base for the further research.
