It was revealed that with the same energy compared to water, Germo Stein Panel Rock Thermal Battery heats up 6.25 times as fast as water, using identical quantities of energy supplied in order to determine the specific heat of Germo Stein Thermal Battery and water. Distinguishing features concern the Specific Heat of the substances.

The heat capacity (Specific Heat) concept was proposed by Scottish physicists and chemistry scientists and they distinguished concepts of heat and temperature. The heat capacity (Specific Heat) concept is also called the Dulong-Petit Law.

Thus, combi boilers and regular boilers of high power rating are used to heat water quickly in standard (radiator) systems.

The raw material of Germo Stein Panel Rock Thermal Battery System consists of rock and metal particles produced with nano technology. It was revealed in our R&D studies that Germo Stein Panel Rock heats up more than 6.25 times as fast as water, with the same energy, in the results of the tests performed by using the Dulong-Petit Method in order to determine the Specific Heat of Germo Stein’s raw material and water.

The raw materials of Germo Stein Panel Rock Thermal Battery System heat up faster since their Specific Heat is lower. They also have a late cooling property. Therefore, the most effective heating is ensured with minimal energy unique to the heat capacity of Germo Stein Panel Rock’s raw materials. The use of Germo Stein Panel Rock Thermal Battery System in heating systems is more practical and economic. It also has a low initial investment cost.

İ.T.Ü Fuel consumption, thermal capacity, and performance comparison test were performed at the Duscio Laboratory of İstanbul Technical University’s Faculty of Engineering, Department of Heat Engineering. These were made according to the ” Closed Chamber Method ” as described in TS EN 442-2-standard ” Radiator and Convector Test Methods ” on a natural gas hot water radiator and a Germo Stein Electric Panel Stone Radiator at the same capacity and under the same conditions. The quantity of natural gas consumed by the hot water radiator and electrical energy consumed by the electric radiator for heating purposes was determined.

The results of the tests performed showed that the electrical energy quantity consumed by the Germo Stein Electric Panel Stone Radiator was 0,968 kWh on avarage.

The natural gas consumed by the hot water radiator, was on average 0.264 m3/h. The electrical energy of the natural gas consumed was equal to 2.853 kWh*.

Furthermore, the electric consumption with circulation pump was 0.15 kWh.

The electrical energy value for the total natural gas consumed was equal to 2.853 + 0.15 and the energy consumotion with circulation pump was equal to 3.003 kWh. In conclusion, in fuel consumption comparison tests the Germo Stein Electrical Panel Stone Radiator consumed 3.1 times less energy than the hot water radiator.

Natural gas higher calorific value = 10.946003 kWh/m3, Volume correction coefficient = 0.987296, 10.946003 X 0.987296 X 0.264 = 2.853 kWh
