I have seldom heard the term interaction energy used in phase changes, but the concept is that changes in energy in potential and kinetic and electrostatic are mutually equal. Additionally, Thermal energy is in balance, none leaves, and none is gained.
I have no idea why you jumped on any temperature for this to happen.
