[TRNSYS-users] PCM in external wall



Dir sirs,

Actually I am simulating PCM in external wall in a building.
I want to use type 1270 which is a component that represent PCM in a wall. In fact, The inner layer of the external wall is composed of glass bricks of dimension 19 cm x19 cm x5 cm filled with PCM.

1) So I am wondering how can I model this external wall especially that the PCM material is located in glass bricks distributed in the wall. so have I consider the glass as a separate layer than the PCM layer or there is a method to do it ( to model PCM in glass brick)?

2) I know that type 1270 represent a PCM layer in a wall, but really I did not understand if the PCM material is integrated directly in the wall or it is as a component?

Thank you
Regards.
