Abstract
This paper presents computed frost penetration depths for a number of cross sections of multilayered system including insulation. Results of Modified Berggren method were compared with those of numerical analysis which is based on finite element method with phase change. For the homogeneous single layer medium, Modified Berggren method gives almost the same results as finite element based numerical method. For the multilayered systems with insulation, Modified Berggren method shows, however, inaccurate results compared with FEM results. Therefore numerical solution based on finite element or finite difference should be used in place of Modified Beggren method to estimate the frost penetration depth for the layered medium with insulation.
