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
Materal | Heat capacty (Cp | Energy |
---|---|---|

Stone or masonary | ||
Water | ||
Water Glycol (50/50 | ||
Phase change materials |
The bigest Bang for the buck
