Good luck and no rush. Any new measurements that are made will be easier to interpret when it gets colder anyway.
AIT (air intake temperature) and energy will correlate well whatever the IAT is not least because the heat pump controller reacts to AIT alone and the...
Unless the IAT was in fact 19 when you did the energy vs OAT curve, we need to correct for that!
It looked bigger on the charts you posted recently, perhaps more like 2-3 C The difference does make a fair difference to some of the calculations p...
This confuses me. Do I correctly recall that your heat pump (and more importantly OAT sensor) is in a bit of a well so the OAT sensor doesn't measure...
Can you please clarify what this graph is, it appears to have both setback and no setback on the same days? Also when you did the AUC calculation re...
Yes and Yes. Conservation of energy must eventually apply, but may take a long while for equilibrium to be re-attained, and my suspiscion is that in ...
The '10%' refers to the change in deltaT between IAT (20C->19C) and OAT (10C). House loss (which is how the '10%' is being used) is proportional ...
Provided the 'control' period from which these were derived is representative of the test period I would agree. If any changes have been made to the ...
Dare I say 'builders innit' (i think that's the appropriate slang - but its not my specialist subject!). The electrical institutions, in fairness, h...
True (which is one reason I advocate it for pump sizing), but it doesn't support extrapolation to other scenarios (ie houses) unless you have enough e...
