Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] problem with thermal radiation





In which part of E+ I can set Thermal radiation or Internel reflective cavity i searched for these key words but i couldn't find

The  model for surface heat transfer in EnergyPlus is not what you seem to imagine.  Trying to assemble an internal reflective cavity using Construction and Material objects does not work.  You would need to develop equivalent properties for that portion of the assembly and collapse them into a single Material layer.

i saw many details that they use 3 or 4  metal layers with foam as insulation layers.

Your metal layers are inside the construction and will not do anything to affect thermal radiation.  Only the first and last Materials affect the surface radiation properties of the Construction.

Hi,
I investigate on thermal radiation and its effects
I have two alternative materials
1- external wall ( with two metal layers)
2- external wall2 (with out metal)
The difference between two simulations  was very poor and thermal radiation energy loos by the wall that has this material wasn't change.

do you have any idea?


what should i do to have better result for radiation
i attached my IDF file
thank you in advance for your time
