Prototype demonstration of controllable thermal insulation to activate storage masses as thermal energy storage units
The suitability of adaptive insulation elements for the targeted control of a heat flow from a building mass to the room (here an exemplary floor structure with impact sound insulation, solid screed layer, controllable thermal insulation and floor covering) is demonstrated both numerically and experimentally. It was shown that the gas pressure-controlled adaptive insulation as a thermal control component enables the targeted heating of the room. The screed layer serves as a heat accumulator that can be charged electrically in a cost-orientated manner and discharged thermally as required.
