Abstract:Mathematical model of coupled heat and moisture transfer for multilayer wall with three phase moisture was established using temperature and water vapor partial pressure as driving potential considering moisture sublimation, desublimation, liquid/solid phase change and gas/liquid phase change. A 500mm(length)×450mm(height)×240mm(thickness) test wall was built. Variations of temperature and equilibrium relative humidity inside the test wall were tested through constant temperature and humidity box from room temperature to -3394℃. The liquid/solid phase change characteristic was investigated, and the reliability of the mathematical model was verified. The results show that there exist the same trend and a good agreement between the numerical simulation results and test results of temperature and partial water vapor pressure inside the test wall. The maximum relative error about temperature and partial water vapor pressure are 168% and 2792% respectively, the mean relative error about temperature and partial water vapor pressure are 044% and 1350% respectively. The model can satisfy the accuracy demand for building engineering and can be applied for simulation study on coupled heat and moisture transfer for multilayer wall with three phase moisture.
