Hi @tim_knights.
I’m flattered by your faith in my editorial abilities
.
No problem with your words, but you might wish to bear in mind that publicising exceptional CoPs like yours might invite intense scrutiny in some quarters (some folk see being “top of the SCoPs” as a sort of competition), so it might be idea to pre-empt some obvious questions by adding some words on:
- The quality (accuracy) of the data your CoP/SCoPs are calculated from. If you have a reputable 3rd party professionally installed CT meter (appropriately voltage-compensated) for energy consumption, and a MID-certified heat meter for energy generation, then say so. If you are basing your numbers on the Samsung-fitted instruments, then these may be prone to some error. For example, I know that my LWT and RWT sensors differ by about 0.8degC when the circuit has been offline for several hours, so given that my (LWT - RWT) deltaT is typically 2.5degC, my energy production (calculated from Q=m.Cp.deltaT), and thus my CoP, may be 30% adrift. Again, an acknowledgement (better still an estimate) of possible errors might be helpful to your readers.
- It would be a good idea to state your measurement boundaries. @Timbones summarised them in HeatpumpMonitor: Immersion heater vs. System Boundaries - #2 by Timbones, but there are whole threads devoted to the subject. This would let your readers know whether they are comparing like-for-like.
Please don’t take the above as criticism, you’re doing better than most owners, but qualifying your data where necessary may avoid answering some difficult questions…
