Heat supply consists of four key stages: generation, storage, transportation and distribution of heat among consumers. The factor that combines these stages is the heat loss which has different origin and value at each stage. The quantitative value of losses is one of the main indicators of energy efficiency.
A home solar energy storage unit uses 400 L of water for storing thermal energy. On a sunny day, the initial temperature of the water is 22.0°C. During the course of the day, the temperature of the water rises to 38.0°C as it circulates through the water wall.
If you''re truly looking for the amount of energy being stored and not just what to use for the temperature in the calculation, then you need to incorporate the fluid''s heat capacity which means identifying the fluid.
