                      A phase change thermal storage assembly, comprising:                                                       
                      a container assembly having first and second sides and an internal volume between the                      
                      first and second sides;                                                                                    
                      a layer of phase change material in said internal volume, said phase change material                       
                      being chargeable with heat energy; and                                                                     
                      a heater assembly positioned on one side of the layer of phase change material to charge                   
                      the phase change material in the internal volume with heat energy and distribute heat                      
                      evenly to the phase change material in the internal volume during charging of the phase                    
                      change material.

                      A rechargeable phase change material unit comprising:                                                      
                      a first shell portion and a second shell portion forming a shell, said first shell portion and             
                      said second shell portion defining a cavity;                                                               
                      at least one layer of a phase change material disposed in said cavity, said phase change                   
                      material being chargeable with heat energy;  and                                                           
                      a heater assembly positioned on one side of said layer of phase change material, said                      
                      heater assembly being provided to charge said phase change material with heat energy                       
                      and distribute heat energy throughout said layer of phase change material during the                       
                      charging of said phase change material.
