Hello Moein,<br>
<br>
For solar I guess you would be looking into vertical hot water
storage tanks. If so, I have heard of two models whihc might be of
interest to you.<br>
<br>
There is 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. There is also 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.<br>
<br>
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 also recommend these papers:<br>
<br>
Bony, J., & Citherlet, S. (2007b). Numerical model and
experimental validation of heat storage with phase change materials.
Energy and Buildings, 39(10), 1065-1072. doi:
10.1016/j.enbuild.2006.10.017<br>
<br>
Bony, J., & Citherlet, S. (2007a, Sept 03-06, 2007). Comparison
between a new TRNSYS model and experimental data of phase change in
a solar combisystem. Paper presented at the 10th Conference of the
International Building Performance Simulation Association Beijing,
China.<br>
<br>
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. So far, I have published only
a conference paper on the first version of my model (see the
reference below) but I have a paper under review which details the
improved version of the model and its experimental validation. <br>
<br>
D'Avignon, K., & Kummert, M. (2012). Proposed TRNSYS model for
storage tank with encapsulated phase change materials. Paper
presented at the 5th National Conference of IBPSA-USA, Madison,
Wisconsin.

<br>
If you are interested in a horizontal configuration, please let me
know and I will get you a copy of my paper and model.<br>
<br>
Good luck!<br>
