Test and Analysis of Solar Thermal+Mains Coupled Phase-change Energy Storage Heating System
In the dual context of environmental pollution and energy crisis,solar energy is the preferred energy source for building heating.A case study of a solar thermal+mains coupled phase-change energy storage(source side and load side)heating system is used to study the influence of inlet parameters on the heat storage process of the phase-change heat storage device and the influence of with or without phase-change heat storage floor on room temperature.The results show that increasing the inlet temperature and inlet flow rate is beneficial to shorten the time required for phase-change heat storage.Rooms with phase-change heat storage floors have smoother temperature fluctuations and higher comfort.
