Hi Mike. I think you make a valid point. I would assume the post defrost algorithms are part of a pre determined reheat to provide some additional he...
Nice re-focus but somehow Im not sure the defrost ‘setback’ saves energy it does after all put negative energy into the building for at least one who...
@robs Your Heat Pump setup is quite exceptional. I can clearly see your heat pump is delivering the heat you require at a flow temperature of 29c when...
@jamespa, thank you both @iaack so far I haven’t calculated this latent heat of fusion. Just the raising of the 180L of water temperature from 25C to ...
I don’t think you can compare the two systems. Ours is entirely radiator system while yours appears to be under floor heating possibly with volumiser ...
Excellent graphics and description Rob…. But to my mind there are amounts of energy that need replacing in this defrost event which aren’t portrayed i...
@cathoderay yes there is an indication of quite a bit of recovery energy being used. Do you have any way of quantifying numerically the energy being u...
That’s an interesting stat. I’m thinking that the 0.1 KWh might be the energy used during the flow reversal process….? I’m also thinking that the real...
@toodles yes it was a bit excessive getting 2 defrosts in one hour. I think it must have been the changing climate while it was still cold. We normall...
When we operate a setback we are reliant on the insulation in our house to ensure we only lose about 1.5C to 2C room temperature this also means the i...
