The OAT in the above is from a Mett Office API and representative rather than the actual OAT, hence the staggered rise in temperature - the real OAT d...
I covered the energy flows, with the numbers, in great detail in . The energy used by the defrost (and the energy not delivered to the house during th...
Yes, here's the Samsung zoomed out: If the OAT is rising then less heat will be lost by the property and hence during the recovery less h...
Exactly, it's just lag in the system.
As I wrote above "in both of these cases the OAT was rising so it's possible that the WC curve of both has reduced the required flow temp, and hence t...
We have a good understanding of the data and don't need to reverse engineer a defrost algorithm as we are just interested in the energy flows, which u...
But the house with the warmer IAT, and hence higher flow temperatures (everything else being equal), will have a lower average COP during the heating ...
