Abstract:Thermal performance of different multi level walls were investigated, the unsteady heat conduction reaction coefficient of multi level wall was derived and corresponding computer program was presented, the heat transfer coefficients of the different kinds of multi level wall were calculated by program. The results show that when pasting 20mm thickness mixed mortar or insulation mortar on outer and inner surface of multi level wall, the heat transfer coefficient of 190mm thickness recycled concrete self insulation block wall is 1940W/(m2·K) or 0961W/(m2·K), 295%,3602% and 144%,1779% lower than that of 240mm thick clay brick wall and 190mm thick normal concrete block wall, respectively. The heat transfer coefficient of recycled concrete self insulation block wall is closely related to the properties of raw materials, i.e. recycled fine aggregate replacement ratio and glazed hollow bead volume fraction. The heat transfer coefficient of different mix proportion of recycled concrete self insulation block walls are little different when glazed hollow bead volume fraction is higher than 60%. The difference of theoretically calculated and experimentally measured heat transfer coefficient is within 5%. The wall of developed recycled concrete self insulation block has a good energy saving effect.
