@cathoderay As I wrote above, it's a "non-defrost restart", so it won't look like a typical defrost. The peak flow temp is only 28.5C and the CO...
In the context of the described time periods yes but not the conclusion of the analysis, which is more important. During the defrost less electricity ...
@sunandair I haven't made any claims of saving energy, @cathoderay has so maybe you are confusing the two of us? My analysis showed that a small ad...
I was merely curious as to the resolution of the data used by the Midea control algorithm and the resolution of its outputs. Given that...
This part of our conversation started with a Samsung but no matter. My question regarding whole (integer) degree changes was because our Mitsubishi OA...
The Met Office API being used seems to have OATs to one decimal place. The system in question was a Samsung and not a Midea, but does your Midea WC cu...
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...
