Improving rural living thermal environment and rural residential energy-saving effect has becomes a hot society issue. As to two main problems of rural kang which are poor regenerative performance and surface temperature uneven,combined with the characteristics of phase change energy storage technologies,phase change energy storage technology was used in kang body. Grasping the properties and characteristics of different types of energy storage materials,according to the requirement of the human body comfort temperature of the kang surface,selecting phase transition temperature of the phase change energy storage materials which should be put forward kang surface comfort temperature between 24 ~ 35°Cphase change heat storage is particularly important. Through the phase change material selection, get three types of phase change thermal storage materials which are suitable for rural kang, which provides analysis method and basic reference for the selection of the phase change material to kang body, enhanced the heat storage capacity of kang,protected kang surface temperature uniformity and improved the energy-saving efficiency of housing in rural areas.
