It does look to me like the COP is being measured as if the outflow was only water, which it can't be at that high temperature. Are my numbers correct? If so, then the COP is much higher.
Heat = mass X specific heat X temperature change = 500g / minute X 1 calorie / gram X (140 - 25) = 57,500 calories / minute = 57,500 calories / minute X 60 minutes = 3,450,000 calories / hour = 3,450,000 calories / hour X 1.163E-6 kWh / calories =~ 4,000 kWh/h Craig On 07/23/2013 03:52 PM, Alan Fletcher wrote: >>> See my Steam Calculator at http://tinyurl.com/def-1240 >> I added the reported input temperature (ambient isn't used) >> COP -- Water : 3.8 Steam: 13.8 >> >>
