Abstract
The rectangular phase change storage tank (PCST) linked to a solar aided heat pump (SAHP) system was investigated. A heat transfer model of the container of phase change material (PCM) was developed. It was solved numerically by an enthalpy-based finite differences method and validated against experimental data. CaCl2·6H2O was used as the PCM in the latent heat storage system of SAHP. Inlet and outlet water temperature of PCST, temperature of PCM and storage and emission heat of PCST were calculated. The comparison of numerical results and experimental data should the data and the varying trend had a close agreement, and numerical results can reflect the operation mode of the system very well.
