This article this article will only deal with thermal mass storage systems that one would typically find in a do-it-yourself system or residential home system. There are many different products that could be used for thermal storage


Background

Calculation for Thermal Mass E = M x Cp x ΔT

E is the energy required to raise the temperature of an object, In Joules (J) M is the mass of the object, in Kilograms (Kg) C is the specific heat capacity of the material, in joules per kilogram per kelvin (J/Kg.K) ΔT is the increase in temperature (°C or K


Diferent typs of storgage systems

  • Air
  • Stone or masonary products
  • Water or water glycol mixtures
  • Phase change materials
