[TRNSYS-users] type 60pcm

[Katherine D'Avignon]

Hello Oussama,

I have not heard of "Type60pcm".

However, I have heard of Type840 which can simulate a vertical tank 
filled with PCM capsules of different shapes as well as a tank filled 
with PCM slurry and a submerged heat exchanger. As far as I know, 
Type840 has only been experimentally validated for the use of PCM 
encapsulated in cylindrical containers.

I have also heard of Type842 which models a bulk PCM tank with an 
immersed water-to-air heat exchanger which was developed by Andreas 
Heinz at the Institute of Thermal Engineering in Graz University of 
Technology.

Both these models were developed as part of IEA Solar Heating and 
Cooling program task 32 but I have not yet used either of them. Enclosed 
you will find Report C5 of Subtask C which explains each model in 
detail. This document should also provide you with the names and contact 
information from each model's authors if you wish to get access to these 
models.

I have myself produced a TRNSYS model for a PCM storage tank but it is 
for a horizontal storage tank with rectangular PCM capsules and might 
not be what you are looking for.

I hope this will help you. If you don't mind me asking, what will you 
use the models for? What are you working on?


Good luck!
