[TRNSYS-users] type for simulating MCP materials

[David BRADLEY via TRNSYS-users]

There are a number of components available as add-ons to TRNSYS.

Type204 is a freely available model provided as-is and without any 
technical support in the TRNLib archive 
(http://sel.me.wisc.edu/trnsys/trnlib/library16.htm#thermalstorage)

Type1270 is a commercially available PCM model from TESS that assumes 
the PCM is sandwiched as a layer in a room's wall constructions. 
(http://trnsys.com/tess-libraries/individual-components.php)

Type399 is a commercially available PCM model from Transsolar 
(http://trnsys.de/docs/komponenten/komponenten_ts_en.htm)

kind regards,

  David
