Q = Total power = 22 kWh = 79.2 * 10^6 joules = 79.2 * 10^3 kJ
    http://www.rapidtables.com/electric/kWh.htm

dT = 25 C  -- temperature difference
c = 4.186 kJ / kG C -- specific heat
m = kg -- in 1 hour

Q = c * m * dT

m = Q / ( c * dT) = 79.2 * 10^3 / ( 4.186 * 25 ) = 79200 / 104.65 = 756.8 kg/h 
= 12.6 kg/sec

which is close to what I used.
