The extremely important of Heat Exchanger (HE) is that without mixing of fluid that carries the heat. Substances that leave or absorb large amount of so-called ‘latent’ heat this type of substances are called phase change materials (PCMs) once they undergo a change in their physical state i.e. from solid to liquid and contrariwise. This paper addresses a CFD analysis of phase change materials in thermal energy storage units dominated by heat condition. The result states that by utilization of PCM, the temperature is increment identified in counterflow whereas compared to parallel flow. The heat transfer rate is nearly 20% increased in counterflow.
