A substance known as a phase change material (PCM) may absorb or release heat by altering its physical properties. Alterations in the liquid and solid phases are among the possible changes. Research to include PCM in the Thermal Collector System was conducted to identify the nature of PCM in absorbing heat. This study looked at how adding Phase Change Material (PCM) to the cooling rate affected how much heat accumulated in the collector. In this investigation, the PCM types RT64HC and SP70 were employed. By applying the energy balance equation to the melting and solidification processes in PCM, mathematical modeling that has been predetermined is used to carry out the study. ANSYS18.2 represents the temperature distribution in the collector—validation of mathematical models that have undergone testing and development for the following phase. The outcomes show that adding PCM can lower the collector’s temperature and improve the collector’s cooling effectiveness. Despite a little difference, PCM type RT64HC has a superior cooling rate than SP70. Temperature measurement on the RT64HC yielded a value of 300.19 K and a cooling effectiveness of 99.08%. The SP70, the other hand, has a temperature of 300.45 K and a cooling efficiency of 98.05%. This outcome is superior to the 305.82 K temperature and 74.83% cooling efficiency of the cooler on the collector without a PCM.
