Are you treating each separate chunk / tank of PCM as an isothermal black box??
Are there liquid pocket isolation issues ??

It may help debug if you could give some information as to what errors you are receiving.

Thanks,

Hey all,
I am a new user and I am trying to simulate phase change materials in Energy Plus. I follow the steps described in the reference guide; insert temperature-enthalpy function, set the solution algorithm parameter to conduction finite difference etc. but I keep getting severe error messages that I can't fix. Any suggestions? I can't find any more detailed information in the energy plus documentation.

Thanks so much!!
Christine
