Abstract
The article deals with one layer of a heat accumulator which is suitable for solar systems. There is a description of the air turbulence, heat transfer, conduction and also phase change of CaCl2.6H2O which is used to increase the density of stored energy. The numerical solution was done with the help of finite element method (FEM) in ANSYS software.
