Solar Thermal Storage Wall

Passive Solar Heating – Principles & Calculations

The Thermal Storage Wall is illustrated in Figures 3, below. The wall may be made of masonry or of water filled containers. It is often referred to as a Trombe Wall, named after the engineer, Felix Trombe, who popularized the design together with architect, Jacques Michel, in the 1960''s. The design was patented by Edward Morse in 1881. The key feature of the Trombe wall system is
