Download PDFDouble glazing glass provides nearly twice the insulation as single glazing. Double glazing insulates you against extremes of temperature, trapping some of the summer sun rays and minimizing the heat which enters through your windows on hot sunny days. Due to this advantage single glazing glass is replaced by double glazing glass. And double glazing glass is also used in energy efficient building. Solar radiation enters in to the automotive SUV vehicle through the glass window. This solar radiation contributes about 47% of overall cooling load in automobile. Therefore fuel consumption is also increased. In order to reduce this solar radiation entering in to the automobile, the single glazed glass window is replaced by double glazed glass window. The theoretical calculation results in 22% improvement in using double glazed glass over single glazed glass. This paper also provides CFD analysis of effect of double glazing glass over single glazed glass.
