@papahuhu I understand that quite common for them not to make clear the minimum output. I think 30-35% of the badged output is about average


House-2 bed partial stone bungalow, 5kW Samsung Gen 6 ASHP (Self install)
6.9 kWp of PV
5kWh DC coupled battery

@old_scientist 

That makes sense then, thanks, I’ve learnt something new. So it is the definitive OAT measurement, it’s incidental that it happens to be used in frost related calcs. 
Always nice to know how something works or you won’t know when it isn’t. Samsung must intentionally limit the information in the public domain, I guess for commercial and IP protection.

@papahuhu Samsung are far from unique in that regard; the attitude of some companies is that ’It is dangerous for the owner to know anything about the product - other than how to turn it on and off’! Even smart controller manufacturers sometimes fall for this fallacy. Toodles.
