NUMERICAL MODELING OF HEAT TRANSFER THROUGH A TRIPLE-PANE WINDOW

The regularities of heat transfer through a triple-pane glass window with air and argon fi llings have been investigated by the method of numerical modeling. Distinctive features of this process have been elucidated which affect the
increase in the thermal resistance of triple-pane windows compared to double-pane ones. The thermal resistances of the triple-pane window as functions of the gas-interlayer thickness and of temperature on the window′s exterior
surface have been found.
