[TRNSYS-users] Type 399: Clarification about the parameters and external file inputs



Hello,

 

Please I need clarification about the following parameters and external file in Type 399.

 

Parameters:

1) heat capacity of layer n-1: Here n-1 layer is the PCM layer, is the cp value for the liquid or solid phase

2) lower phase change temperature: is this picked from the melting or solidification curve considering hysteresis effect

3) upper phase change temperature: is this picked from the melting or solidification curve considering hysteresis effect

 

External file

For the two external files cp values; one for heating and one for cooling down are they the specific enthalpy h(T) as a function of the material temperature curve for melting and crystallisation process as stated in Fig 4 of the Type 399 manual?

 

What unit should the cp values be expressed?

 

Thank you for your help. Looking forward to it.

 

Regards,

Oselen I.
