Wax Paraffin is 2.1 Kj/whatever https://www.researchgate.net/publication/336006577_Comparing_water_and_paraffin_PCM_as_storage_mediums_for_thermal_energy_stor

  That’s missing the phase change energy, which is in the zone we’re looking at here.

    Not necessarily. If you're trying to heat water to 120º you may not want the paraffin to phase change at all. Because then you have a problem transferring heat from liquid->solid->pipe->liquid. Phase change seems to work better for trying to maintain an ambient temperature. The input side is always going to be cold, and at some times of year far colder than others.
