Hello katherine,
Thanks very much for your help. Actually, I intend to study solar water heating systems with pcm modules in the storage tank. The study is supposed to be applied to the climate of Beirut. In addition, optimal management for such a system is desired. As for type 60pcm, you can find it in the following article "Modelization of a water tank icluding a PCM module" published in Applied thermal engineering in 2006. So, as you have modeled a new type of pcm-hot water tank for trnsys. May I have the opportunity to have it so that I could study different types and compare?

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!
