The invention discloses a method for testing heat storage performance of a
building material and a tester. The tester mainly comprises a heat insulation
barrel, an environment chamber, a D / C converter, an A / D converter, temperature sensors, an electric quantity sensor and a computer. The temperature sensors are arranged in the heat insulation
barrel and the environment chamber respectively for measuring the temperatures of the material, the environment chamber and the inner and outer walls of the heat insulation
barrel; the computer controls the
heating power of a heating rod through the electric quantity sensor and the D / C converter; and temperature signals are monitored and recorded by the computer through the temperature sensors and the A / D converter. A
computer program can calculate the heat storage performance of the material through a
temperature curve of heating and heat release processes. Aiming at the condition that the conventional method for testing the heat storage performance of the material in the search of the
building material, particularly a building
phase change material, is insufficient, the method of the invention simply and quickly tests the heat storage performance of the material during change at a certain temperature interval, has the characteristics of high detection precision, strong reliability, low cost and the like, and can realize
automation of the test process at the same time.
