Innovative integration of solar chimney ventilator, solar panel and phase change material; under real transient weather condition of Hong Kong through different months

Summary

Numerical 3D simulation of a tilted solar chimney ventilator that combines photovoltaic panels and phase change material, tested under Hong Kong's transient weather in four months. Compared with a PV-only chimney, it generates more power and moves more air, but cannot ventilate adequately in winter; the greatest savings, about 2.9 $ per month, occur in June.
