Another chart showing the Midea heat pump can't quite cope in cold weather. Blue upper chart is outside air temp (OAT), lower green chart is indoor ai...
Yes that can be done, but why do it? If you want a pint jug of water at 40 degrees C, there's no need to boil a kettle, and then dilute the 100 degree...

There is also enough info there to calculate calculate power output, which is LWT/RWT delta t x flow rate/3.6 x circulating fluid specific heat (the d...
If you get this in time, can you do some more screen grabs as the water continues to heat. It would be particularly useful to see what the heat pump c...
I think that is a very good idea. Point out gently that doing these tasks will make life easier for everyone/what if the heat pump does destroy itself...
@burtis - another, more worrying point occurred to me. I think at some point you may have said you asked your installers not to add antifreeze, becaus...
That's interesting. I don't think I've ever seen a flow rate that low. My problem is the flow rate tends to be fixed at around 1.4m^3/h, and that cons...
