PDLC film's energy consumption and performance for light filtration system

Abstract

This paper proposes to record the result of energy consumption and light transmission rate when using PDLC film with green insulated glass, at size lxl sq.m. with 6-12-6 mm. standard thickness. The result of energy consumption and performance in protecting from the sun light are explained. The PDLC energy consumption characteristic and its principle are described. The methodology to test the performance of PDLC film with green insulated glass also incuded. The result indicated that different voltage source level will also be able to affect the light transmission rate. From experiment found that at level 0 volt had a light transmission rate at 22.3 percent, level 15 volts at 28.8 percent, level 30 volts at 32.0 percent, level 45 volts at 33.2 percent, level 55 volts at 33.4 percent and level 70 at 34.0 percent, respectively. All of these values were compared with direct light intensity from outside. In the future, it can be used in purpose for energy saving inside building.
