Comparison Study on the Performance of a Novel and Traditional Energy Piles by Laboratory Tests

Phase change material (PCM) is a substance that can absorb or release sufficient latent heat at phase transition. By encapsulating phase change paraffin in hollow steel balls in the concrete, an energy pile with PCM was innovatively produced to improve energy efficiency for the ground heat pumping s...
