A Study of Temperature and Humidity Conditions in a New Energy-Efficient Design of a Wall Structure with Air Gaps by Nurlan Zhangabay, Timur Tursunkululy, Akmaral Utelbayeva, Uliya Abdikerova, Murat Sultanov

“…To conduct numerical studies based on mathematical models of the heat transfer of water vapor filtration through a multilayer filler structure with ventilated and non-ventilated air gaps, a calculation method was developed that additionally considers the presence of heat-reflecting screens and different variations in the geometric parameters of air gaps and thermal insulation layers. The study results demonstrated that the new energy-efficient multilayer wall structure was 6.1–7.2% more efficient in terms of heat transfer resistance than the traditional one, and due to the presence of heat-reflecting screens, the efficiency increased to 15.2–16.3% depending on the geometric parameters of the air and thermal insulation layers of the wall structure. …”
