Investigation of floor heating with thermal storage

Based on experimental data, the energy storage performances of floor radiant heating system were investigated. The decrease of indoor air temperature after the stopping of floor heating was compared with that of fan-coil heating system. The increase of indoor air temperature after the stopping of floor cooling system was analyzed. The results show that the floor heating system has good thermal storage performance, which can be used to a night-running model to obtain the energy-saving benefits efficient and economic running cost, and still can be used for “shifting peak load to off-peak” macroscopically.
