A daylighting system includes three parts; light collector, light transformer and light distributor. A DBLP(Double blind light pipe) daylighting system consists of a double blind light collector, a mirror duct type light transformer and a prism film light pipe distributor. The double blinds for a light collection are used to track the sun's altitude and azimuth movements throughout the day. Behind both sets of blinds is the light transformer, which is based on a rectangular cone shaped light duct. The light transformer was designed to efficiently deliver the light into the light pipe within a 30 degree radial spread for the efficient light into the distributor. In this study, DBLP system efficiency was simulated, evaluated and optimized by Tracepro as a popular ray trace light design simulation program. The results indicated that DBLP system efficiency evaluated a maximum 22.4% in case of Spring/Fall season solar noon time. While the overall average system efficiency in the morning and afternoon is evaluated about 10%.

A DBLP(Double blind light pipe) daylight system can be installed at a building exterior wall or roof to replace artificial light during the day time. This system was consisted of a double blind light collector, a mirror duct type light transformer and a prism light pipe distributor. The double blinds were used to track the sun's altitude and azimuth movements to collect the sunlight throughout the day. The sunlight collected by the light collector was reflected on the first mirror and the second mirror and sent to the light pipe through the light transformer. The transformer was designed to deliver the sunlight into the light pipe efficiently. The light distributor plays a role in diffusing the sunlight coming in through the light collector to be used for indoor lighting. In this paper, a DBLP system has been designed, installed and tested at a KIER daylighting twin test cell. The DBLP daylighting system was applied to the experimental test cell which has an indoor area of 2.0 m wide ${\times}$ 2.4 m height ${\times}$ 3.8 m length. The experiment was conducted from January 30 to February 27, 2012, under clear skies and partially cloudy skies. Data was collected from 10:00 am to 16:00 pm every 2 minute and the average was calculated for every 30 minute of the data collection to obtain the system efficiency. The results indicated that the DBLP system efficiency was evaluated as 11.67%. The DBLP system indoor illumination energy reduction was predicted as 0.822 kWh/day. This could replace 4 sets of a 32W fluorescent lamp operating 6.4 hours per a day.

본 논문에서는 자연채광 시스템 LFLP(Linear Fresnel Light Pipe)와 DBLP(Double Blind Light Pipe)시스템을 비교하였다. LFLP시스템은 평행한 빛을 선형프레넬렌즈를 이용하여 선형 형태로 빛으로 집광하여 자연채광에 이용하는 시스템이며, DBLP시스템은 베네시안 형태의 블라인드를 이용하여 빛을 반사시켜 자연채광에 이용하는 시스템이다. DBLP시스템은 LFLP시스템을 개선한 것으로 시스템 앞쪽에 위치한 블라인드는 태양의 고도에 따른 빛을, 뒤쪽에 위치한 블라인드는 태양의 방위각에 따른 빛을 변광부로 반사시키도록 설계 되었다. DBLP시스템의 변광부는 콘모양으로 이루어 져 있으며 블라인드에 의해 반사된 빛을 산광부로 보내주는 역할을 하며, 산광부로 들어온 빛은 실내조명에 사용된다. 따라서 맑은날(clear sky)을 기준으로 두 시스템의 효율을 비교하면 DBLP시스템이 LFLP시스템보다 세배 높게 나오는 것으로 나타났다.
