Research on Cool Storage Time of a Phase Change Wallboard Room in the Summer
Abstract
Through testing and analysis of the parameters of the indoor thermal property in a phase change wallboard room and an ordinary room, the effects of using phase change wallboards on indoor temperature in summer and with air conditioning are analyzed. The combination of construct enclosure and phase change materials can stabilize indoor temperature, improve indoor thermal comfort, reduce the frequency of the operation of air conditioning facility, cut the initial investment and operation expense, and meanwhile play an practical role in “the power balancing between the peak period and the valley period” policy.
