Energy Storage
- From 80F to 140F, we have 60F, so using Water Heating Calculator - we get 37 kWhr stored per tote. 24000 BTU is 7 kW.
- Thus, we store 5 hours of a heat pump's thermal output in a single IBC tote! This is very much practical for thermal storage in winter.
- We would need 5 totes to store heat for one day, 10 totes for 2 days' worth. This appears to be a practical option.
