Hi Jed, I understood that he did indeed have 4 250 kW units in the container which he used for the test. The older 50 or so smaller units were also in the container as back up units but were never used in 1 year test, only the 250 W units were used apparently. There are pictures I think on

Thanks Eric. From the specs I got the impression it was about 1 sq m (30x30x60 inches) but perhaps it was a component as it looks bigger in your picture. Still should fit in a container though. More interesting to me was the data about efficiency. I wish there was an HVAC engineer who has
