Revision history [back]

Hello everyone!

I have added Phase Change Materials (PCMs) with a melting point of -20°C to the inner surface of the walls in a refrigerated warehouse. I then set the Zone Phase Change Material Melting Enthalpy and Zone Phase Change Material Freezing Enthalpy as output. However, the enthalpies were both equal to zero.

Do you have any idea why this is happening? Also, do I need to define a specific zone for the PCMs?

Hello everyone!

I have added Phase Change Materials (PCMs) with a melting point of -20°C as cold thermal energy storage (CTES) to the inner surface of the walls in a refrigerated warehouse. The PCM has a melting point of -20°C, the Enthalpy-Temperature function is shown in the Fig. 1 below.

I then set the Zone Phase Change Material Melting Enthalpy and Zone Phase Change Material Freezing Melting/Freezing Enthalpy as output. outputs. However, the enthalpies were both equal to zero. (Fig.2).

Does anyone have any idea why this might be?
