Abstract
On the one hand, PV-Trombe wall is a combined solar system that meets dual functions of space heating and electricity output, but the utilization on the recovered solar heat by PV-Trombe wall is very limited. On the other hand, thermal catalytic oxidation and thermal sterilization are two advanced air purification technologies and both they have huge application potential with solar heat. Therefore, a novel purified PV-Trombe wall for electricity, space heating, formaldehyde degradation and bacteria inactivation was proposed. Firstly, the system thermal and mass transfer model was established and verified by experimental data. Secondly, the comprehensive performance with the PV coverage ratio of 0 was analyzed. Finally, the effect of PV coverage ratio on the system performance was investigated. Accordingly, the main results were: ① Under PV coverage ratio of 0, the average daily air thermal efficiency and formaldehyde single-pass ratio were 0. 46 and 0. 35, respectively. Meanwhile, the total generated volume of clean air by formaldehyde degradation was 93. 4 m3 . Five kinds of bacteria were fully thermal inactivated for several hours. Accordingly, the total generated volume of clean air were 188. 3, 173. 0, 201. 4, 189. 9 and 200. 2 m3 for E. coli, L. monocytogenes, L. plantarum, S. Senftenberg and S. cerevisiae, respectively. ② The PV coverage ratio played a different role on the system comprehensive performances. For specific performances, the PV coverage ratio only had a positive influence on electrical performance and had negative effect on other performances such as thermal, formaldehyde degradation and bacteria inactivation performances. However, considering the system comprehensive performances, the electrical energy was the additional product and the low PV coverage ratio was suggested. ③ The works could provide possible support to the prevention and control of COVID-19. © 2021, Editorial Department of Journal of University of Science and Technology of China.
