In this paper, an experimental study of a system for heating an air-conditioned bed during a 2 h lunch was carried out. The results show that the power consumption of heat conduction heating was only 0.34 kW·h and that the average heat dissipation was 81.3 W, while the power consumption of convection heating was 1.43 kW·h, accompanied by an average heat dissipation of 748.7 W. Regardless of the power consumption or the heat dissipation, the convection heating was significantly higher than the heat conduction heating. As a result, the room air temperature increased from 12.3 °C to 17.3 °C under convection heating, but only increased from 14.4 °C to 15.2 °C under heat conduction heating. The study results indicate that when using heat conduction heating, water temperatures in the range of 38~40 °C could meet the thermal comfort needs of the human body; however, a higher temperature range was required when using convection heating. In contrast, the grade of the hot water required for heat conduction heating was lower. It was also found that the temperature under convection heating rises faster, but it tends to lead to a dry feeling after a long time, while the conductive heating showed a slower temperature rise. There was a cool feeling for 20 min when the heating started, and then the thermal comfort improved. The air-conditioning system in this paper was investigated in a heating experiment in the winter lunch break mode and compared with convection heating. The heat conduction heating resulted in better thermal comfort and higher energy efficiency. It is suggested to adopt the heat conduction heating mode in the winter heating operation of this system.
