Original Abstract

We can use different matters for heat storage. Phase Change Materials (PCM) are a perspective way to increase the density of energy storage. The article describes a phase change of calcium chloride hexahydrate CaCl2.6H2O. There is an analytical solution of melting and freezing only in 1D which found out Neumann in 1864. In 3D we have to exploit a numerical method. For this article we obtain results by means of Finite Element Method (FEM) in software ANSYS and there is a comparison with measuring as well.
