This invention is a phase change heat exchange unit which is comprised of upper and lower skeletal support frames having a container for a phase change material disposed therebetween. Each of the frames has a pair of support grids which provide support for the phase change material container and provide a passage for the flow of a heat transfer fluid therethrough so that it can come into direct contact with the container.
