TROMBE WALL

Specialty Definition: TROMBE WALL

Domain	Definition
Electrical Engineering	Passive solar approach invented by F. Trombe and J. Michel. Consists of a massive south-facing, concrete wall, which is painted black and covered with a sheet of glass. An air-space runs between the concrete and the glass; the chimney effect causes the heat to rise. Openings at the bottom and top of the wall allow the cold air along the floor to be circulated through the air space(1); The above system is sometimes termed:"mass Trombe wall" as opposed to:"water Trombe wall" where water is employed as the thermal mass(2). Source: European Union. (references)
Energy	A wall with high thermal mass used to store solar energy passively in a solar home. The wall absorbs solar energy and transfers it to the space behind the wall by means of radiation and by convection currents moving through spaces under, in front of, and on top of the wall. (references)

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A Trombe wall is a south-facing wall built of some massive material such as stone, concrete, or adobe which collects heat from the sun to release it gradually into the interior of the building. It is an example of passive solar heating, and is named after the French inventor Felix Trombe.
