In this study, the dry heat storage floor heating block for which heat storage capacity was improved for the sake of transforming the floor heating system into dry type was developed, and the thermal environment for this was evaluated. In order to evaluate the thermal environment, the change of temperature in accordance with the supply of hot water was analyzed by constituting two kinds of floor heating systems for which existing wet method and dry heat storage floor heating block presented in this study were applied, respectively. According to the analysis, up to the stabilization of floor surface temperature, 240 minutes were confirmed to be taken for wet method, and 320 minutes for dry heat storage floor heating block, and when comparing the temperature difference after the stabilization of floor surface temperature, dry heat storage floor heating block was analyzed to have around 3oC lower temperature than wet method. On the other hand, in terms of maintaining the floor surface temperature based on the heat storage effect of structure after stopping the supply of hot water, the dry heat storage method was analyzed to be more advantageous compared to wet method. |
