Abstract
The application of Phase Change Materials (PCMs) in radiant floor heating considerably enhance their energy saving potential and the improvement of indoor thermal comfort as well. The study aims at investigating the energy performance of a PCM integrated hydronic underfloor heating system in dry and wet sand conditions. Experimental and numerical analysis of floor surface temperature and heat flux demonstrated that higher thermal conductivity of sand increases more quickly the thermal performance of the system.File in questo prodotto:
