Looking for guidance on liquid cooling home

Need a couple changes, add "/ degree F" to water and ice. So 180 BTU to raise 1 lb. water from 32F to 212F (As chart shows, and very close to what phase change takes.)

You meant water 212f to gas 212f.

I had thought vaporization was similar, but 970 BTU is 5x as much.

Yup, STEAM has a LOT of heat in it...
Massive energy contained.

Fortunately, a pound of steam is a LARGE volume, compared to water.

Which is quite useful for some purposes.
