Solar-powered smart window design with aerosol trap and greenhouse gardening

Abstract

The work is devoted to the development and testing of a solar-powered device with the functions of dust and other aerosol particles capturing both inside and outside the room, with the ability to regulate the light and heat fluxes into the room and with the greening function. The purpose of the device development is the use of solar energy in window household systems for: 1) night and adjustable daytime lighting of rooms; 2) cleaning the city’s air basin from dust and burning, 3) additional heat and sound insulation. A working model scaled down to 1:5 was created, where consumer functions were tested and finalized after modeling in AutoCAD. The device based on solar panels provides a combination of the mentioned consumer functions having three autonomous modules. They are placed on a united metal structure that is fixed in the opening and on the window frame. The model provides five static and three dynamic modes of device operation. The developed device can be used to improve the ecology of the urban environment.
