Abstract
A shape-stabilized phase change material (PCM) with high-density polyethylene was prepared as the supporting material to be added to a pre-fabricated light and dry-type heating floor. A system for underfloor heating experiments was set up in the laboratory to test the effects of average supply and return water temperatures and different temperature differences on the thermal performance of two floor heating systems under 10 different operating conditions, respectively. The results show that the surface heat-flux density of a phase change floor (PCF) is higher than that of an ordinary one at the stable stage. The proportion of heat transfer to the heating room is about 13% higher in the phase change system compared to the normal system, and the heat loss is reduced by more than 10%. At the cooling stage, the surface temperature of PCF decreases slowly, compared to the rapid decrease of the ordinary one.
