      abstract = {Phase change materials (PCM) as heat storage theoretically  offer an advantage compared to water stores on the one  hand, when the cycling temperature is close around the  phase change temperature and the phase change can be used  quite often. Another application is the use of the  subcooling effect of certain PCM for seasonal storage. The  scope, in terms of general system aspects for IEA SHC Task  32, was solar heating and cooling systems for residential  buildings, principally detached houses for one up to a few  families. Additionally other promising heating or cooling  systems were taken into consideration. Five projects  dealing with PCM modules in solar combistores, seasonal  storage with subcooled PCM and PCM in residential heating  systems as space heating stores were investigated in the  laboratory and by simulation studies. However, the  investigations reported here showed only little advantages  for macro-encapsulated PCM modules in combistores,  PCM-stores with immersed heat exchangers and for PCM  slurries for heat stores in solar combisystems and  residential heating systems. The seasonal storage with  subcooled PCM could be in principle a good solution.  However the technical expenditure for this system is  large.},
