Abstract
The data presented in this article were the basis for the study reported in the research articles entitled ‘Climate responsive behaviour heat pipe technology for enhanced passive airside cooling’ by Chaudhry and Hughes [10] which presents the passive airside cooling capability of heat pipes in response to gradually varying external temperatures and related to the research article “CFD and wind tunnel study of the performance of a uni-directional wind catcher with heat transfer devices” by Calautit and Hughes [1] which compares the ventilation performance of a standard roof mounted wind catcher and wind catcher incorporating the heat pipe technology. Here, we detail the wind tunnel test set-up and inflow conditions and the methodologies for the transient heat pipe experiment and analysis of the integration of heat pipes within the control domain of a wind catcher design.

The data presented in this article were the basis for the study reported in the research articles entitled ‘Climate responsive behaviour heat pipe technology for enhanced passive airside cooling’ by Chaudhry and Hughes [10] which presents the passive airside cooling capability of heat pipes in response to gradually varying external temperatures and related to the research article “CFD and wind tunnel study of the performance of a unidirectional wind catcher with heat transfer devices” by Calautit and Hughes [1] which compares the ventilation performance of a standard roof mounted wind catcher and wind catcher incorporating the heat pipe technology
Heat pipes are incorporated into the design of the wind catcher to improve its thermal performance by reducing the temperature of the supply airflow
The measurements were carried out in the inlet region as near as possible to the opening of the test section. This data can be used as inlet velocity boundary condition for the numerical modelling of heat pipes in a control volume and outdoor domain for wind catcher models
Summary
Graphs, figure Hot-wire anemometer (Testo 425), Thermocouple (Type-K, PICO) with data logger (PICO) Raw data and analysed Controlled wind tunnel velocity and temperature. For the analysis of the wind catcher, the measurement of the supply and indoor airflow velocity were carried out in a 1:10 scale model of a small room. Heat pipes are incorporated into the design of the wind catcher to improve its thermal performance by reducing the temperature of the supply airflow. The measurements were carried out in the inlet region as near as possible to the opening of the test section This data can be used as inlet velocity boundary condition for the numerical modelling of heat pipes in a control volume and outdoor domain for wind catcher models. Wind catcher with heat pipe test (Supplementary Table 4) – This data file presents the indoor and supply airflow velocity measurements for a uni-directional wind catcher device incorporating the heat pipe arrangement. Similar experimental setup and measurement procedure were employed as the standard wind catcher
