[Stoves] Energy units

[Kevin]

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
