A well-known way to increase the thermal insulation properties of windows in buildings is to increase the number of glasses in a window or, what is the same, to increase the number of glass chambers in a glass unit. This method, in combination with low-emissivity coatings on the inner surfaces of glass, can provide a significant increase in the heat transfer resistance of window structures. The use of such windows in construction can significantly reduce heat loss from the premises in the winter, which leads to a reduction in energy costs for heating and increases the energy efficiency of the building. In this work, the characteristics of heat transfer through a three-chamber glass unit are studied using numerical modeling and experimental study. Options for the absence and presence of low-emissivity coatings on glass are considered. Changes in air velocity and temperature in the chambers are studied. Heat transfer resistance for three-chamber windows are calculated depending on the number of low-emissivity coatings on the glass.
The use of various coatings with a low level of radiation on the glass elements of window structures, filling the interglacial space in double-glazed windows with inert gases instead of air, increasing the number of cameras in double-glazed windows, other constructive measures aimed at improving the thermal insulation properties of double-glazed windows, led to a significant increase in the thermal resistance of the fenestration system. However, little has changed in the design and construction of window frames and edge areas adjacent to building facades, leaving these elements responsible for heat transfer through modern windows. In this article, with the help of three-dimensional CFD modeling, the thermal insulation properties of window frames are investigated in the most complete setting, taking into account the effect on heat transfer through the profile of the window frame of the adjacent walls of the building facade on one side and the double-glazed unit on the other. Finding out the thermal insulation parameters of the window frame will help to make appropriate changes in its design.
