[Stoves] Energy units

[Frank Shields]

>From what the installer of the heat-cooling unit (to maintain a room at 27c)
said it is heat needed to melt a ton of ice. This based back when ice blocks
were used - so he thinks. Only in the U.S. !

Dear Richard and Frank

 

I think you are correct: energy stored per unit mass of storage medium.

 

Wood stores quite a lot actually, compared with some fuels.

Frank, 

 

I think they call that energy density in ref. to batteries compared to
gasoline or other energy sources, or not?.

Stovers,

 

I came across an energy unit that is new to me. It 'lbs of energy'.

 

As if we need another one!  Perhaps this is the energy in a pound of wood or
something? It's in regards to controlling the temperature in a room.

 

Regards

 

Frank
