Analysis on Energy-saving Effects and Thermal Comfort Performance of Floor Heating System using Phase Change Energy Storage Plasterboard

In this paper,for the electric heating system with phase change floor,the stability and thermal comfort performance were analyzed through the simulation,and the results were validated by the experiments.It was concluded that the phase change floor heating system had good heat storage ability.When it was compared with the common floor heating system,the indoor air temperature changed more gently and occupants had higher thermal comfort level.Furthermore,phase change material could store the cheap electrical heat energy during night,therefore the energy-saving effects and economic features of the system were much better than the common floor heating system.
