Research of Heat Tolerance and Moisture Conditions of New Worked-Out Face Structures with Complete Gap Spacings

Resumen

In this work, two new face structures of the open-air protection fence were investigated, where a method was proposed for analyzing the condensation of water vapor in the protection fence to search for a condensation zone. Another method for calculating the amount of condensed vapor in a multiwall protection fence with closed gap spacings was proposed. The analytical results illustrated that the magnitude of the range of temperature variations of the worked-out structures with gap spacings and without heat-reflecting screens was 7.14% lower, while the existence of heat-reflective screens reduced this value to 27.14%. The investigation of the water vapor transmission magnitude demonstrated that the steam permeability strength of the interior side and retaining walls of the developed buildings amounts to the standard one, while the usage of a locked air space with a thermo-reflective panel allows the movement of the appropriate condensing region over the external face of the fencing. Mass analysis of the precipitated vapor during the heating time of 1 m2 of the retaining wall showed that in face structures in closed gap spacings with heat-reflective screens, the mass of the precipitated vapor was 24.8% greater relative to that of the face without heat-reflective screens. Moreover, the examination of the absence of distillation in the oxygenated gap spacing proved that, in the gap spacing in the considered face structures, the condensate does not fall out such that there is no aggregation of humidity according to the annual balance. Furthermore, the drying time of the face structure with heat-reflecting screens was 17.9% longer than that of the traditional one. The research results can complement the works performed earlier by the authors, as well as be applied in the engineering and construction of buildings to save thermal power, considering the climatic features of the development region.
