Using heat flux sensors for a contribution to experimental analysis of heat transfers on a triple-glazed supply-air window

An experimental set-up of triple-glazed supply-air window is developed in this research order to characterize the window’s thermal performance without solar radiation. By simultaneously measuring local temperatures and heat fluxes with thermocouples fluxmeters, determination requires no longer using correlations transfer coefficients around window, which are often source high uncertainties. Results show that use fluxmeters brought a more accurate measure transfers window. Thereafter, can be correctly estimated by empirical evidence. Uncertainty analysis then presented highlight reliability method. Afterwards, obtained data compared those numerical model Fluent® software. A thorough comparison provided explain parameters play role deviating results between two methods, leading conclude validity assumptions respect real conditions set-up.
