The temp vs run duration doesn't seem that meaningful. It shows the first 3 minutes of runtime, and doesn't show if all configurations reach equilibrium performance after that. It looks like they might. These things are usually run for hours, is there a chance they'd have similar cooling performance at that length?
The insulated hose is something I'm exploring myself. There's insulated ducting like this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Speedi-Products-6-in-x-12-ft-Insulated-Flexible-Duct-with-Metalized-Jacket-R8-FD-12R8-06/203393272?MERCH=REC-_-pipsem-_-203393287-_-203393272-_-N https://www.homedepot.com/p/Speedi-Products-6-in-x-12-ft-Ins... but it looks terrible. I'm kind of worried about having fiberglass being in my living space like that, the PPE is significant https://homeguides.sfgate.com/safe-ways-handle-fiberglass-insulation-82010.html https://homeguides.sfgate.com/safe-ways-handle-fiberglass-in... and I'm pretty sure my cats would shred it up. I'm leaning toward adding reflectix sleeves with gaps so that the hose is flexible.
- Vendan 6y agoIt seems to not be considering "can it reach a temperature", but "how much heat can it remove in 3 minutes", which, IMO, considering constant power usage, is more valuable for "how efficient is this"
- sokoloff 6y agoFor that short a period, it seems like the mass of the condenser would be relevant and disturb any extrapolation to efficiency from a run time which is not largely steady-state.
