Dear Frank
In Refrigeration, the energy unit is "tons of refrigeration." This is the energy removed from a room when 1.0 tons of ice melts over a 24 hour period. This works out to 12,000 BTU/hr.

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
