Re: [TRNSYS-users] Type 840



Hello Heidi,

I have contacted the researchers in question in the past and they shared their model with me gladly. I don't see any reasons they wouldn't do the same thing for you. The people I contacted were:

*Jacques Bony from the Haute Ecole d'Ingénierie et de Gestion du Canton de Vaud, in France. His model is referenced as TRNSYS Type 860 which is said to be able to simulate cylindrical, spherical and rectangular PCM capsules inside a water storage tank (whether vertical or horizontal). This model was compared to experimental results using a vertical tank and cylindrical capsules.

*Hermann Schranzhofer from Graz University of Technology in Germany who modeled TRNSYS Type 840. This model is for PCM slurry tanks or tanks filled with cylindrical, spherical and rectangular PCM capsules. He performed experimental validation of the model for use as a slurry tank as well as for a vertical tank with spherical and cylindrical capsules.

In both cases, no tests where made for horizontal tanks or rectangular PCM capsules. I am currently working on a test bench to evaluate the performance of a horizontal storage tank filled with rectangular PCM capsules. I hope to compare my experimental results to numerical results from these two models as well as from my own PCM tank model.

Good luck!

Heidi,
  Type804 is not one of the TESS Library components. I would recommend that you try and contact some of the members of the IEA Subtask to see if they can lead you to the Type's author.
Kind regards,

Dear All,

According to the IEA Report C5 of Subtask C "Advanced storage concepts for solar and low energy buildings", they have developed a model that enables a detailed simulation of water tanks with integrated PCM modules of different geometries (cylinders, spheres and plates) or tanks filled with PCM slurry. They called it Type 840. I can't find it within the TESS libraries. 
Any idea how can I get it?
