Re: [TRNSYS-users] type 60pcm

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!

Dear all.

I am using trnsys and I need a component that models hot water storage tank with pcm (ohase change material).
I have noticed that there is a component called "type 60pcm".
This is developed by a researcher and it is not found in the trnsys library.

Please, can anyone help me get this component?

Thnaks in advance,
