[TRNSYS-users] PCM wall model

[David BRADLEY <d.bradley@tess-inc.com>]

Colleagues,
  I was asked about the state of the art in modeling PCM wall 
materials. I am aware of the Helsinki Univ. of Technology model written 
by Piia Lamberg (it is available in TRNLib) but I also found reference 
to another model in the following paper:

"VALIDATION OF A TRNSYS SIMULATION MODEL FOR PCM ENERGY STORAGES AND PCM 
WALL CONSTRUCTION ELEMENTS"
H. Schranzhofer, P. Puschnig, A. Heinz, and W. Streicher

from the Institute of Thermal Engineering, University of Technology 
Graz.  Does anyone know whether the Type241 PCM wall model that they 
developed is available somewhere? I would appreciate any leads.
Kind regards,
 David
