ABSTRACT
To evaluate the thermal performance of the passive solar room with PCM (phase change material) and a gypsum board as a distributed heat storage system, a numerical model to calculate the transient heat transfer in the PCM walls was developed and incorporated into a CFD code. A simulation code was used in two different ways, one is utilizing a CFD code itself developed by authors and the other is applying a modified version of the CFD code (marcro model). At first, the micro and macro models were compared through evaluating a distributed heat storage system with a passive solar room assuming a winter heating season. The thermal performance of the passive solar room, such as the required energy input or the effect of PCM as a distributed heat storage system, was investigated quantitatively through long period unsteady simulations with the macro model.
