Abstract:

Phase change materials (PCMs) is a type of thermal energy⁃storage materials with high latent heat⁃storage capacity. In the field of construction, PCMs can be used in the radiant floor heating system. Through the use of phase⁃change energy⁃storage floor, a large amount of latent heat can be stored and released to reach the purpose of cutting down the peak load of the heating system, thus achieving a building energy⁃saving effect. This paper reviewed the current thermal storage technology and phase⁃change floor radiant heating technology and briefly discussed the influence of physical and chemical properties of PCMs, floor structure, and encapsulation and shape⁃stabilization technologies on its thermal performance. Finally, its future research direction was outlooked.

Key words: phase change material, phase change thermal storage, radiant floor heating, indoor thermal environment
