SOLAR CHIMNEY || passive heating and cooling system || how it works

Solar chimneys are a simple and effective way to harness the power of the sun to improve indoor air quality and reduce energy consumption in buildings. In this video, we will explore how solar chimneys work, their benefits, and how to design and build them.

A solar chimney is a passive ventilation system that uses solar radiation to heat up the air inside a vertical shaft, causing it to rise and create a natural airflow. This airflow can be used to remove hot air and pollutants from the building, improving indoor air quality and reducing the need for mechanical ventilation.

Warm humid air entering into the system would result in a great deal of condensate which would have to be removed. And I'd be concerned with air quality due to creating an ideal environment for mold in the piping. Modern heat pumps appear to be the way to go due to their efficiency.

Good if you enjoy the inside temperature to be the same as it is outside.

With an earth air tunnel you can get cooler air (~55°F) than the outdoor air temperature in summer. That said, if you live in near the equator, say Florida for example, the ground can be 72-77°F meaning it probably won’t have enough time to cool the air to about the same temperature. However, it would take less energy to air condition the pre-cooled air than direct outside air. Also any airflow can be used with evaporative cooling like a swamp cooler, which could potentially be entirely passive. Again, though, in humid places, evaporative cooling is less effective, sorry Florida…

Will this work in places where highest degrees in summer might be 45c+?

[john_enx]

I suppose for the chimney to work you have to let it without insulation, what about winter days with no sun, will it not be a huge cold spot? or do you close someway the openings to the building? depending the extra cost to build it, it maybe better to get some solar panels to help with AC bills with hitting and cooling.

Depending wind directions the chimney should have channel’s and a downdrop for debris to fall down to and not in the rooms or channel’s themselves. Just like a “Grundofen” where the heat is forced down to heat an entire thermal mass of 3 stories when placed in center. So like an medieval arabic architecture would do. With one system to cool or to heat.

The real use of an updraft plant might be providing ventilation for a whole city. Just build the city around the tower.

I appreciate the content, but animations are too slow and music is too loud

[xman]

do you think the fresh air in summer is cool??😅😅

You could have chosen a text to speech voice with a British, French, or f***ing Navi accent from Avatar, but you went with a jaded customer service lady.

It would be better if the English was not so broken.

[protasiocanalita]

Sir when you start with the word solar it scared me . I can see e-vehicles that explodes when sea water touches the batteries. It that how it works sir the e-vehicles will explode and turns people inside info BBQ stat?

Music is too loud, i cant hear half of what is being said.

[mikemallery]

Had to turn off after 20 seconds - that voice

[ahsnap]

I removed myself, made it 12 seconds.
