For determining the appropriate temperature levels for the acid rain tests, stagnation temperature for an unglazed absorber was calculated iteratively on a hourly basis (Konttinen et al, 2004). Surface samples were immersion subjected to O2-aerated or zero — aerated (with N2) simulated acid rain (Table 1) with pH 3.5 or pH 4.5 and simulated neutral rain with pH 5.5 in temperatures of 60, 80 or 99 °C. Saturating gas was fed at room temperature into the solution. The solution was heated within ±1 K of the required temperature in a flask, which was in a paraffine oil bath (Fig. 1). The oil was typically 6- 10°C (at 60/80°C) or 40-45°C (at 99°C) warmer than the solution. Details of the setup are described in (Konttinen et al, 2004). Samples tagged as “non-aerated” in Figures 3-5 were tested with EIS at similar temperatures and pH. Changes in optical properties of nonaerated EIS-tested samples A-B in Figs. 3-5 are included in this paper for comparison to aerated and zero-aerated test results.
Polarisation measurements and EIS measurements were carried out in a conventional three electrode cell using platinum sheet as a counter electrode (CE) and saturated calomel electrode (SCE) as a reference electrode (RE) (Fig. 2). The methods and measurement system are described in ASTM standard G5 (ASTM, 1987) and in (Lorenz and Mansfeld, 1981), respectively. The RE was connected to the cell with Luggin capillary.

The salt bridge filled with 0.1 mol/l Na2SO4. was used between the RE and the Luggin capillary to avoid possible chloride contamination of the test solution. In some polarisation tests 500 mg/l Na2SO4 sulphate was added to increase conductivity (Table 1, b-solutions). The polarisation measurements were conducted in an Avesta cell (Fig. 2a) where a sample was pressed against a round hole on the cell bottom and the system was sealed with a rubber o-ring gasket. The sample area was 0.8 or 1.3 cm2. Long-term immersion EIS tests were conducted in a cell (Fig. 2b) where the samples (working electrode WE) were attached with stainless steel screws to a sample holders made of copper rods. The copper rods and the back sides of samples were insulated with PTFE tape and nolan lacquer. The sample area was 5 cm2.
Before polarisation measurements the corrosion potential was followed for 1h until a stable corrosion potential was achieved. Potential was first changed — 150 mV to cathodic direction and cyclically back to the corrosion potential with a scan rate of 10 mV/min. After cathodic polarisation the potential was changed +150 mV to anodic direction or to potential -200 mV vs. SCE. The EIS measurements were done at the corrosion potential with the amplitude of 10 mV. The EIS system consists of a NF 2000 potentiostat and NF 5050 frequency response analyser and the polarisation measurements system consists of a ACM Instruments Autotafel potentiostat.
Test duration needed to degrade the a and є of the absorber samples according to performance criteria (PC) was determined in each test:
PC = — Дa + 0.25Д^< 0.05
Although not defined for unglazed collectors, Eq. 1 was used as it is typically used to estimate failure limit for solar absorbers inside glazed collectors (Brunold et al., 2000). PC value of 0.05 is generally equivalent to 5 percentage unit decrease of the solar heat gain by the flat-plate solar collector water heating system.
Hemispherical reflectance of the samples was measured before and after each test at room temperature. Solar absorptance, a, was determined between 0.39 — 1.1 pm with a LI-COR LI-1800 type spectroradiometer and a BaSO4 coated integrating sphere. Thermal emittance, e, was determined between 2.5 — 20 pm with a MIDAC Prospect FTIR — spectrometer with a semi-hemispherical integrating device. Spectral reflectance, p^, was analysed for estimating the hydration levels of alumina.

For the radiative thermal resistance between the two slabs of the duct the following relation has been considered:
Г = (Ve1 +1/ є2 — 1)/4oT3
with о Stefan-Boltzmann constant, T = (T1 + T2)/2, є1 and є2 emissivity of the duct’s inner faces, respectively of the slabs A and B.
A detailed description of the used calculation procedure is reported in [8].
In the calculations the following reference dimensions have been considered: L=15 m; h=10 m; d=0.04 m. Assuming Pr=0.72, D~2d=0.08 m, the Eq. (1) is fully satisfied for all values of the Reynolds number (Re<2500) being peculiar to laminar flow.
For a standard situation the following reference climatic conditions have been assumed: Ti=24 °C, T0=28 °C in summer and Ti=20 °C, T0=0 °C in winter; all the graphs reported hereinafter should be meant to refer, unless it is indicated otherwise, to such values.
An iterative calculation procedure has been used to evaluate the quantities defined by the Eq. (2), to take into account the dependence of Г on the temperatures T1 and T2, and also to consider the variability of the air density and viscosity with the temperature T. All calculations have been developed in Maple programming software. For the friction factors Xin and Xou the following values have been considered as reference values: Xin=2 and Xou=4.
As reference values for the thermal resistances re, ri, and Rcd, (see Tab. I) the ones recommended by the technical rule EN ISO 6946 [11] have been chosen. For the considered values of d, Rcd=0.18 m2KW-1 has been assumed.
In the studied cases, the outer slab is supposed to have been realized so that the air infiltrations through the joints and the permeability to air of the used material could be disregarded.
Figure 2 represents the studied reactors in this work. They consist of 1 m long and 2 mm thickness steel tubes resisting to the maximum pressure reached by the fluid. The total surface covered is 1 m2 which is composed by a number of cylindrical tubes with an external diameter De, figure 2-a. This number is inferior when finned tubes are used considering a De/2 width fins, figure 2-b. The rectangular reactor has a width of 1 m and a height of H, figure 2-c. All these reactors are isolated from the lateral wall and the back. The tubes are filled by an amount of activated carbon reacting by adsorption with ammonia constituting a porous medium. This medium can be heated or cooled through the metallic wall along a daily cycle.

In the planning process and evaluation of innovative energy concepts simulation of buildings and systems gets more and more important. With the internationally well known software program TRNSYS [1] those simulations can be accomplished with a very high complexity.
The paper describes the Program TRNFLOW [2] which is a new add-on for TRNSYS for the simulation of natural ventilation. Also the main new features of the TRNSYS Version 16 released in Mai 2004 will be described.
Coupled Airflow Simulation — Current Situation
In order to achieve sustainable buildings new energy systems have been generated using natural effects to renew the air and lead away the heat. Examples are passive night cooling, double facades, solar chimneys, inside courtyards and so on. In these systems the mutual impacts of thermal and air flow behavior are very distinctive. Thus for numerical building simulation programs an integral approach is inevitable.
Already in 1993 in the frame of the IEA project Annex 23 the EMPA has developed a coupling of the multizone air flow model COMIS [3] with the thermal building and system simulation program TRNSYS and this was presented at the TRNSYS Userday 1994. The self-contained program COMIS was modified to TRNSYS Type 157 which can be linked to the thermal building model Type 56 within the TRNSYS-Deck via in — and outputs. The input information of the air flow model are read in by Type 157 from the standard COMIS Input File (CIF). The TRNSYS solver iterates the results of the two models until they match. Meanwhile the coupling has been successfully applied by several projects and simulation tasks. However thereby it was pointed out that the coupling is not very user-friendly and also requires a laborious handling. As the mutual classification of the data is made by hand the inputs tend to be incorrect. This error-proneness is also increased by the redundancies of the two input files. Furthermore it was proven that the TRNSYS solver is not always the perfect solution for such a system. The solver possibly has to be supported by additional convergence promoting Types what makes the handling again more difficult. Yet the need of an integral approach concerning thermal building dynamics and natural air exchange was clearly necessary. Therefor with TRNFLOW an improved version including a deepened integration of the two models (thermal and airflow) has been developed.
Multizone Air Flow Model in TRNFLOW and COMIS
Multizone air flow models idealize the building as a network of nodes and airflow links. A node represents a room volume which a set of state variables can be assigned to. Cracks, window joints and openings, shafts as well as ventilation components like inlets and outlets, ducts and fans represent the links. Boundary conditions and thereby also input factors are: State variables of the air in the zones Local wind pressures
The pressure pZ is a free parameter in the node which is evaluated according to the continuity equation (mass flow balance in the node = 0 ). This results in nZ equations where nZ represents the number of zones.
The relation between mass flow rate m and pressure difference dp and the zone pressure pZ is not linear. Therefor an iterative process is used to solve the system of equations. The mass flow rates per link and all dependent factors such as air exchange rates, air age etc. are calculated of the resulting zone pressures pZi. The calculation is static without an explicit consideration of the timestep. In principle calculating a condition based on a new time is independent of the previous timestep.
The total hemispherical reflectivity R(A) and transmission T(A) for single-layer on glass samples show a quasi-zero absorption of the films, confirming the previous results from laser reflectometry and spectroscopic ellipsometry methods. The theoretical curves of Figs. 2 and 3 are calculated using the experimental optical constants determined by spectroscopic ellipsometry on single-layer samples. In our model, we suppose homogenous layers and sharp interfaces.
Figure 2 represents the total hemispherical reflectivity of Ti02/Si02 multilayers formed by three and five alternating layers of Ti02/Si02. The thicknesses of the layers are indicated in table 2. We observe a reflectivity peak in the visible range. The peak position determines the color of the multilayer film. The dotted lines indicate the theoretical reflectivity. We observe a good agreement between the experimental and the theoretical values. The reflectivity peak position, its maximum value and its FWHM depend on the layer thicknesses and on the number of layers. In general, at one wavelength the reflectivity peak maximum increases with increasing layer number.
Figure 3 shows the total hemispherical reflectivity of Al203/Si02 multilayers formed by an increasing number of alternating layers having the same thicknesses. The dotted lines indicate the theoretical reflectivity increasing with the layer number. This evolution shows the same tendency as previously presented results obtained by using the simplified model of constant refractive indexes [17].
The thicknesses of the individual layers of Fig. 3 are indicated in table 3. The peak position is relatively constant and its maximum value increases by increasing the number of alternating layers. The disagreement between the experimental and calculated values for
the nine-layers samples can be explained by the long deposition time and an eventual change of the deposition conditions.
Wavelength [nm]
The heat transfer governing equations for steady state laminar natural convection in cavities are the mass, momentum and energy conservation equations in x, y and z axis for an incompressible fluid [Versteeg, 1995]. These equations can be expressed in conservative form:
Conservation of mass:
where T0 is the reference temperature, and is calculated by the mean temperature distribution of the exterior glass surface and its result is averaged with the temperature of the isothermal wall, so:
Hx, Hy y Hz are the lengths of the edge surfaces of the cubic cavity, Hgx is the thickness of the glass and Tci it is the temperature of the wall 2.
The boundary conditions for the momentum equation are:
u(0,y, z)= v(0,y, z)= w(0,y, z)= 0 u(Hx, y,z)= v(Hx, y,z)= w(Hx, y,z)= 0
u(x,0,z)= v(x,0,z)= w(x,0,z)= 0 (6)
u(x, Hy, z)= v(x, Hy, z)= w(x, Hy, z)= 0 u(x, y,0)= v(x, y,0)= w(x, y,0)= 0
u(x, y,Hz)= v(x, y,Hz)= w(x, y,Hz)= 0
The boundary conditions for the energy equation are:

An overview of known methods to modify the optical properties of solar energy materials by using micro-structured surfaces is given. Applications for micro structures in solar energy components are wavelength-selective absorbers, heat mirrors, light traps for PV cells, wavelength-selective concentrators for solar radiation, daylighting components, antireflective zero-order gratings, and radiation emitters with selective optical properties based on grating resonances. This paper addresses the design and the whole experimental process chain from the microstructure origination on large areas to the replication. The need for cost-effective production technologies and durable structured materials is emphasised.
Introduction
A wide variety of solar energy systems from PV cells to buildings exists. All the very different systems have in common that they demand sophisticated optical solutions for an efficient transport, collection and conversion of the solar radiation. Modifying the optical properties of surfaces or planar devices by coatings and microstructures is often used in order to optimise the radiation power management of solar energy systems. Publications in which diffractive structures were proposed to fine-tune the optical properties date back to the 1970’s [1 — 4].
In fact, advances in diffractive optics like the first approaches to solve the problem of dou — bly-periodic gratings were driven by scientists having solar applications in mind, e. g. Mc Phedran and Maystre [2]. Since the fundamental work of the mentioned authors, diffractive structures in solar energy systems were published for a variety of components in solar energy systems, e. g. [5 — 15]. In Table 1, the quoted publications are classified according to the components for which the diffractive structures were proposed. Additionally, the required optical properties and the proposed structures are listed.
The advantage of considering periodic microstructures is the possibility to model their optical properties rigorously, i. e. by solving the Maxwell equations [16]. Thus, the optical properties of periodically micro-structured surfaces can be simulated with rather high accuracy. This is not the case for aperiodic structures.
The challenge of using microstructures is the requirement on very precise manufacturing technologies. Such technologies exist in the field of microelectronics or microsystems technology but are in general not suitable to structure large areas homogeneously. Thus, many of the published approaches are difficult to realise especially due to the mismatch of dimensions between the microstructures and the areas which have to be micro-structured in solar applications.
From the technical point of view, homogeneous origination of precise microstructures on large areas is the most difficult step in the process chain. Because of its ability to share the high origination cost with a large number of products, microreplication is very promising from the commercial point of view. Microreplication is a suitable process for some of the applications listed in Table 1 but not for all of them.
At Fraunhofer ISE, we have picked up the idea of using periodic microstructures in solar energy applications at the beginning of the 1990s. Since then we have been working on the design and the manufacturing techniques for the following optical components: antireflective surfaces, light traps for PV cells, sun protection systems, and wavelength — selective radiation emitters. By using interference lithography we were able to originate microstructures on areas of up to 4800 cm2.
Absorptance changes were generally larger and occurred faster at lower pH values (Fig. 3). Changes in emittance were mainly the opposite, i. e. larger at lower pH values (Fig 4). The resulting PC values (Eq. 1.) were almost in all cases within the acceptable limit at pH
3.5, distributed both side of the limit at pH 4.5, and were generally above the acceptable limit at pH 5.5 (Fig. 5).
The majority of the samples exhibited neither specific temperature-depending nor gasification type/rate — depending behaviour. In addition, there is no clear difference in degradation between the O2, N2 or non-aeration or the rate of aeration at any pH level. It seems that the pH level is the major determinant regarding to the degradation rate. Unfortunately, there was large deviation especially in the absorptance results at pH 5.5 exposure times between 0.5h and 4h.
In previous condensation tests for similar samples with de-ionized water according to draft proposal ISO/CD 12592,2 (Brunold et al., 2000) all the samples exhibited Arrhenius-type temperature- and time-dependent degradation (Konttinen and Lund, 2003). Complexity of the simulated acid rain test method including multiple variables makes it difficult to determine the reasons for non-Arrhenius type behaviour. The most likely reason is uncontrolled movement of the acid rain solution causing irregular chemical reactions. Futhermore, the primary assumption of the combined effect of gas feeding and natural convection being sufficient for moving the solution seems to be inadequate. The amount of reactants in the solution is quite small (Table 1). Therefore small variations in solution composition can have caused different results as well.
In Fig. 3 the trend of S varying with d is shown, for the two cases of copper wall (CW) and brick wall (BW). For d<0.045 m the flow is laminar with Reynolds numbers inferior to 2500; for d>0.060 m the flow is turbulent with Reynolds numbers superior to 3500: the laminar — turbulent transition zone is pointed out in dashed outline. In the case of turbulent flow the roughness value of the ventilation duct has been assumed to be equal to 0.005 m.
The brick outer slab turns out to be more convenient, from an energy point of view, than the copper one.
The following figures all refer to a ventilation duct being 0.04 m in thickness.
In Fig. 4 the trend of S varying with G for the two examined walls, CW and BW, is reported. Two values have been considered for the indoor air temperature: T=24°C and T=26°C. The percentage energy saving S distinctly increases as G and the indoor air temperature Ti rise. In Fig. 5 the trend of S varying with G is shown for the wall BW. The following values have been considered for the friction factors on the inlet and outlet sections: Xin=0.5 and Xou=1; Xin=1 and Xou=2; Xin=2 and Xou=4; Xin=4 and Xou=8. The graphs clearly show the convenience to reduce, as much as possible, the head losses occurring on the inlet and outlet sections.
Figure 3 — Variation of S with d (m) for the two walls CW (solid line) and BW (dashed line). The laminar-turbulent transition zone is pointed out in dashed outline.
Figure 4 — Variation of S with G for two values of the indoor air temperature: Tj=24°C (solid line) and Ti=26°C (dashed line).
The trend of the mean heat flux Q coming into the room through the ASW varying with G is reported in Fig. 6, for the two examined walls, CW and BW. The two cases of T=24 and T=26 °C have been considered. The trend of the mean heat flux Q0 (obviously the same for the two walls) coming into the room when the ventilated duct is closed (dotted line) is also reported for comparison. The difference (Q0-Q) and, therefore, the reduction in summer thermal loads, achievable by using a ventilated wall, increases as G and Ti rise.
In Fig. 7 the trend of Q varying with the sol-air temperature Te, for the wall BW, is reported for three values of the air temperature in the shade: T0=24°C, 26°C and 28°C. The trend of Q0 (dotted line) is reported for comparison. Obviously, it results that Q=Q0 for Te=T0 (without solar radiation). The ventilation convenience increases as Te rises as well as it increases, for a given value of Te, as T0 decreases.
The Fig. 8 refers to winter and the two examined walls. In this figure the trend of Q varying with G for two outdoor air temperatures in the shade is shown: T0=0°C and 7°C. The trend of Q0 (dotted line) is reported for comparison. Notice that, in this case, the wall showing less heat losses is the copper one; it happens as a consequence of the fact that the thermal resistance RB of the wall CW, with copper outer slab, is higher than the resistance RB of the wall BW, with brick outer slab (see Tab. 1). The graphs clearly show that, in winter, the ventilation always determines a rise in heat losses.
Conclusions
The ASW can meet, if well designed, the aesthetic and formal requirements of contemporary architecture, and also contribute to reduce energy consumption in buildings. The examined graphs clearly show that the use of ASW can determine a remarkable reduction in summer thermal loads; the duct is, obviously, required to be, as much as possible, free from any obstacle and the head losses to be reduced on the inlet and outlet sections for the above-stated reduction in summer thermal loads to occur. Hence the necessity of an accurate design of the inlet and outlet openings.
The energy saving achievable using the ASW distinctly increases as insulation increases; for a given value of the insulation and of the outdoor air temperature in the shade, the
reduction in the summer thermal load increases sensibly as the temperature provided for the indoor environment increases. In the examined situations the brick-faced wall (BW) has turned out to be more convenient than the copper-faced one (CW), from an energy point of view. In any case, it seems to be not convenient to consider air duct thicknesses inferior to 4-5 cm.
In winter, remarkable rises in heat losses can occur, leaving the duct open, especially connected with remarkable values of G. This leads to advise closing the duct in winter. But, considering that in winter the values of G are usually moderate, it would be advisable reducing the ventilation, e. g. with self-regulating dampers at the duct inlet and outlet sections, in order to drain the humidity due to possible infiltrations or condensation phenomena.
