  2. Solar chimney - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_chimney

    A solar chimney – often referred to as a thermal chimney – is a way of improving the natural ventilation of buildings by using convection of air heated by passive solar energy. A simple description of a solar chimney is that of a vertical shaft utilizing solar energy to enhance the natural stack ventilation through a building.

    The solar cyclone distiller [73] could extract atmospheric water by condensation in the updraft of the chimney. This solar cyclonic water distiller in the updraft above a solar collector pond could adapt the solar collector-chimney system for large-scale desalination of collected brine, brackish- or waste-water pooled in the collector base.

  8. Ground-coupled heat exchanger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground-coupled_heat_exchanger

    Combination system: This can be constructed with dampers that allow either closed or open operation, depending on fresh air ventilation requirements. Such a design, even in closed loop mode, could draw a quantity of fresh air when an air pressure drop is created by a solar chimney, clothes dryer, fireplace, kitchen or bathroom exhaust vents. It ...

  9. Solar architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_architecture

    A solar chimney is a chimney of outside black color. They were used in Roman antiquity as a ventilation system. The black surface makes the chimney heat with sunlight. The air inside gets warmer and moves up, pumping the air from the underground, that is at 15 °C (288 K) all the year.
