Research on the Application of Solar Collector and Phase Change Technology

Abstract:

There’s a sufficient solar energy resource in our country, but the shortcomings of its discontinuity and instability makes it hard for a further development. The research on multiple applications of the solar collector and phase-change material cannot only reduce the building energy consumption, but also improves the thermal environment. This method can make the solar energy into a continuous, stable and available state which has a very important meaning to alleviate the increasingly serious energy status. This article mainly introduced two united systems of solar energy collector with phase change energy storage wall and phase change composite floor, theoretical basis and actual operation effect for these two systems are introduced summarily in the article.
