Thermal storage floor heating

Which company developed a wooden heat storage floor?

Isone Industry Co. Ltd. developed a wooden heat storage floor using a PCM and hot water pipes that was constructed by assembling a modularized PCM floor finish material . Lin et al. manufactured a shape-stabilized PCM (SSPCM) in plate form and designed a radiant floor heating system using night electricity.

Do PCM-based floor heating systems improve floor heat storage performance?

The study results can be summarized as follows. First, previous research on the technical developments in PCM-based floor heating systems was analyzed, and it was found that the improvement of floor heat storage performance in indoor environments by combining a PCM with existing floor structures had not been attempted.

Can a PCM-based radiant floor heating system work with solar thermal hot water?

Huang et al. proposed a hybrid PCM-based radiant floor heating system that fused a PCM-based radiant floor heating system and solar thermal hot water system using new and renewable energy and assessed its thermal performance.

What is the best heat storage material for a floor?

The most commonly used heat storage materials for the floor are autoclaved lightweight concrete and mortar, which are placed above and below the hot water pipes thus storing the heat and maintaining a longer heating time.

Is PCM a good thermal mass for floor heating system?

This indicates the advantages of using PCM as thermal mass for floor heating system which could release more heat to retain the room temperature in the comfort range for much longer time. It is also noticed that the discharging time for PCM + CAP mat combination (9 h) is a little shorter than that of PCM + PE coil (11 h).

What are the advantages of radiant floor heating system?

1. Introduction Radiant floor heating system has been widely used in buildings which has the main advantage of uniform room temperature distribution. This superiority not only improves the indoor thermal comfort but also provides the opportunity of applying low-grade energy resources such as solar hot water.
