As I have tried to show, COP of 2 in heat-triggered systems is the effectively the same as “infinite” for all practical purposes. It simply means more units are needed before the loop can be closed, depending on the details of the Maxwellian distribution - so the overhead is higher with 2 instead of 6, but either can be engineered as closed-loop, or infinite COP.
Yes that is something I've been curious about for awhile. You have added to that understanding.
