There are many different products that could be used for thermal storage\n\n== Background ==\n\nCalculation for Thermal Mass E = M x Cp x ΔT\n\n'''E''' is the '''energy''' required to raise the temperature of an object, In Joules (J)\n'''M''' is the '''mass''' of the object, in Kilograms (Kg)\n'''C''' is the specific heat '''capacity''' of the material, in joules per kilogram per kelvin (J/Kg.K)\n'''ΔT''' is the increase in temperature (°C or K\n\n== Diferent typs of storgage systems ==\n\n* Air\n* Stone or masonary products\n* Water or water glycol mixtures\n* Phase change materials\n\n{| class=\"wikitable sortable\"\n!
