Table 1 lists the bulk density, specific heat (thermal capacity) and latent heat of the three common solar heat storage materials--rock, water and Glauber's salt. Figure 1 shows the comparative volume of each material for the same amount of heat storage, based on the example in Worksheet I.

David Allan's Solar Home ... Glauber's salt has the nice property that it melts at 90o F and has about 83 calories per gram. It does not take a lot of salt to heat several rooms. The salt in the chamber is stored in black tubes to pull in the day-time sun so that the salt melts.

Whatisit? Some salt work very well as a thermal mass to store the sun's heat. The idea is to select a salt, such as Glauber's Salt, whose phase change from solid to liquid is at around 70 - 90 degrees F. ... You are here: Allan's TIME > D.W.A. Biography > Solar Home > Eutectic Salt...

GardenWeb - The Internet's Garden Community ... However, the book shows a picture of a wall lined with stainless steel passive solar heat tubes filled with "Glauber's Salt" or calcium chloride hexahydrate. To my dismay, no resources for this were listed.

Big monkey: Like other solar builders, I have looked at PCM materials such as paraffin and eutectic salts (namely, Glauber's salt) for storing heat. Unless there has been a breakthrough I am not familiar with, these materials are fraught with problems.
