RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Discrepancy in PCM Results




The data are interpolated along a piece-wise linear relationship, it is not a ?staircase? as you describe.   Intermediate points that don?t change the linear function are superfluous, but here  your (a) and (b) are totally different between 0 and 26C.  In the case of (a) there is a gradual increase from 0 to 26C, but in case (b) all the increase occurs between 24 and 26C.

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Discrepancy in PCM Results





Dear all,



I have defined a PCM (26 degree melt, 230 KJ/Kg enthalpy) using the Enthalpy-Temp curve two different ways using the object Materialproperty:phase change and applied it to the interior face of the east wall.



a) Gypsum Board PCM:                                   



   Temp - 0

   Enthalpy - 0

  Temp-26

  Enthalpy-230000

  Temp-100

  Enthalpy-230000



b) Gypsum Board PCM1



Temp-0

Enthalpy-0

Temp-20

Enthalpy-0

Temp-24

Enthalpy-0

Temp-26

Enthalpy-230000

Temp-28
