If as you say the heat does not balance no doubt that is because the
machine radiates a great deal and this is not accounted for. The
machine is insulated but no insulation is perfect.
The insulation is more perfect than this insulation that I have here in
my gasboiler heating system.
Most insulated water pipes are outside of the wall and are exposed to
cold unheated air and have no better insulation.
And all insulated water pipes that connect the radiators are longer and
made from copper. Therefore, given the amount of thermal energy, I know
that the insulation is perfectly good in Rossis system.
Sorry, I cannot calculate it. But I know it by experience and example.
Also, a bad insulation cannot produce false overunity effects. It would
reduce the resulting COP and therefore this is not important.
