Abstract：The traditional heat storage unit based on phase change material (PCM) adopts the simple inner and outer casing structure of which the heat transfer performance is limited due to the uneven distribution of the solid-liquid interface. Therefor, this paper proposes two new types of horizontal and inclined lead-flow partition casings, establishes three different mathematical and physical models of casings, simulates the transition process by two dimensional unsteady state, compares the differences of heat transfer performance between these three structures and analyzes the factors affecting the heat transfer performance of the lead-flow partition. Compared with the traditional structure, the PCM melting time has been reduced by 40.2% by horizontal lead-flow partition and 65% by inclined lead-flow partition. The results show that the lead-flow partition can effectively weaken the uneven distribution of the solid-liquid interface and shorten the PCM melting time, and the heat transfer performance of the casing can be further improved by adjusting the number and inclination of partitions.
