I've no idea. I counter that guess! :-) 1) You want the control loop as stable as possible 2) Stability is directly related to controllability 3) The larger the heat flow, the better the controllability 4) therefore the outside temperature should be as low as possible Do we have to battle now, to see who is right? :-) Attila Kinali -- It is upon moral qualities that a society is ultimately founded.
