You need to be taking amperage readings from the mini split to see if the mini split has reduced power as the outside warms up it takes less energy to condense the heat your testing is inconclusive

Interesting although I can't help but think that there's more efficient ways to transfer the heat from the burn barrel inside directly.

Nice car man. I love the 4r70s

Simple answer without watching the video. Increasing the temperature of the fluid, in this case air, going through the heat pump will increase the efficiency. That won't necessarily increase the temperature it outputs. Heat recovery is possible by venting any warmer than ambient gasses, such as a shower/bathroom extract, backup furnace/boiler outlet, or literally any other waste heat through the heap pump evaporator.

The heat pump is just pulling heat from outside and moving it to the inside. So, yea. If you make it warmer outside it’ll be better able to move that heat to inside. Opposite goes for the A/C. It’s pulling heat from inside and moving it to outside. If you made it colder outside it’d work even better. At the end of the day you’re wasting a lot of heat from the burn barrel just radiating away from the heat pump. Ideally would just have the burn barrel inside and use it to quickly raise the temp for comfort while the heat pump maintains a lower temp.

You are perhaps making incorrect assumptions. The heat pump will have a maximum heat transfer capability.. What will differ is the amount of AC power required to move the heat. The warmer the outside air the less energy it will take to move that maximum. Your idea is sound but your measurements are not. The unit will have an efficiency curve you can probably find in the specs.

did you get a two small heat pump ? i see some dumb crap on line these days

I'm 23 seconds in and I already have my face in my hands. The answer is yesnt. When it's savagely freezing outside, the hot air from burn barrel will improve the operation of the AC unit, allowing it to pump consistent heat, using less electricity. However, the AC will only reach operating temperature faster. It will not pump more heat than it's design specs allow. That is if the AC can heat the output air to 40˚C, it will do that and no more. The burn barrel however provides also a great risk. The AC relies on multiple sensors to adjust it's operation. Heating just one side of the AC can trow these sensors off kilter and turn it off (best case scenario) or destroy it. If you want to heat the shop faster, just buy a decent stove, build a chimney, and don't mess with your AC unit.

maybe a temp switch inside the heat pump that makes it think its overheating? so it lowers its internal temp

You didn't measure the heat pump efficiency. That's an inverter compressor system, so it will adjust the load to provide basically the same level of heat to the space all the time. It's not as if setting the condenser on fire will have the same effect on the wall unit. It's already putting out air as hot as it's willing to create. As someone else mentioned, do this when it's below freezing. Or better, near freezing where the thing will be spending energy defrosting the condenser coils. (i.e. do it on a day when it can't make ~100F.) It is making a difference, but you'll have to measure electrical power use to see it.

Of course ambient temperature near the heat pump will effect COP of it, read the manual. For total efficency, the story is usually different.

What if I told you that there's a simple way to get like 80% thermal efficiency out of this home made stove instead of the like 0% he's getting? It's really super simple - Move the stove inside the shop to heat it directly instead of trying to heat the whole outside and then moving that heat into the shop from there...

Nice test thanks for taking the time. I would have thought the same. Maybe it is pulling more CFM from the sides than you think? Try to ignore the professionals on here lol. I read some of the comments they are just ignorant.

The fact that you want more heat after paying what they want for those heat pumps says something about the heat pump.

You thought this would work how? Heating uninsulated air and expecting it to transfer to the heat pump exchanger ? I’m confused. Insulation and a closed unit could possibly help but there are better ways bro. Easiest way to get additional heat out of a heat pump would be to add a cavitation section of piping to your heat pump unit could definitely do the job but it can be dangerous. I’m sure there are resources if you dig deep enough. I remember seeing a video on UA-cam of a company that made heat pumps and to their surprise when they calculated efficiency the units were 140% efficient. It was due to cavitation created in the pump itself through shear. They couldn’t sell any units for over a year because they advertised as %140 efficient and nobody believed it. Changed their advertising to 99% efficient and sold a bunch. People are funny. If you want more info on cavitation and excess heat I can send you a few links let me know and good luck !

Good video, Mike. The only issue I have is that your paper towel holder has an empty roll on it. 😂 Also, the barrel heater would help when the temps get down below 30°. That is when mine would have trouble heating.

One thing about your setup is the fact that it's not really too cold yet outside for the heat pump to not be able to pull heat out of the outside air. If you were to do it when it was well below freezing, then you would see the biggest difference.

Your test is flawed! 1. Heating your shop from from 50 to 54 is not the same as heating it starting from 54. You should have ventilated your shop to start back from the same temp. 2. You don't measure efficiency by how many degrees your shop temp increased, efficiency is measured by how much power the heat pump used to generate x amount of heat. You did not even test the power consumption of the unit. 3. This heat pump is of the inverter type, it ramps up and down based on the indoor temp which again explains point number 1 and 2. 4. You measure temp gains by measuring the difference between ambient air (intake/top of the indoor unit) and the air coming out of the indoor unit (exhaust at the blade) OR by measuring the delta temps of the copper coils. You do not measure how much heat the shop gained in 15 minutes, your floor walls objects in your shop will absorb heat faster at 50 degrees than at 54 degrees! Lookup COP, it is a scientific fact.

1. The indoor unit dosen't take air from the outside, its circulate the inside air only, and the only connection between the outside and inside unit is the 2 pipes with gas/liquid and the electrical wires. 2. If you are heating the air outside the compressor don't have to work so hard and that is the biggest game changer for you heat pump. 3. Put the stove and heat pump in a container and try again, that will make a big difference as long as the container is warmer than the outside!!

Maybe try so.e hard wood that's dry is a big difference

Awesome video brother. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible weekend. Much love and RESPECT

Crazy video Mike…

Bought one for a Ford E4OD, it was a pile of shit. Don't waste your time with this company, the don't answer their phone and you'll have to call them a dozen times to get a reply, from an arrogant jerk who will blame you instead of their shitty product. Transmission would not shift correctly, replaced sensors multiple times and no change, tore out transmission and had it rebuilt, no issues found and all new parts installed, and still transmission issues. Remove their garbage controller replace with stock computer or other aftermarket good controller because their controllers are garbage.

Can it read odometer tampering details

I'd be happy with a 500hp to the ground 4.6 or coyote car. Sometimes less is more.

The only thing my 03 cobra engine has ever needed is a $30 used oem v6 alternator and a $75 used iem cobra powersteering pump. I've owned since 2006 with 12,700 miles.2.8 Pullied, old school diablo,long tube headers,offload h pipe. Beat yearly and runs great. This is over 500hp and is the most reliable car ive ever owned. It's over 70k now. 22 years old.

Incredible video brother. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible weekend? Much love and RESPECT

Good video Mike 👍🏻

Great overview, Mike! I'm on my third '01 Bullitt (2712, 3776, 704). Such cool cars.

i keep a taped up garbage bag over mine and keep my garage clean never an issue i'd say torquing bolts having new tty bolts fastners more important though just sayin

Also get it square in the bore when you check the gap with the feeler gauge

What was the book by the author Scott you mentioned what was the title please?

I was lucky enough to snag one of these at a major discount before they discontinued this model. It has worked out excellent for me. Basically using it to power my truck camper build.

Jeep engineers are complete idiots.

Looks like you need to put some moveable security lighting around your shop and control them with this handy timer. Looks like 8t would be good for Christmas lights! Great review.

Awesome review brother. Thanks for sharing. They would do good with Christmas lights. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible night. Got my package today. Thank you. Much love and RESPECT

What size wrench does the fill plug use? Is there a special wrench made for it ?

I'm 52 years old and built hundreds of motors and never in my life heard of this . not saying it is good to be a little cautious. as long as your main bearings is clean none of that dust going to hurt that engine if it does see it. but that's just my opinion and to each their own when I rebuild an engine I don't have time to make sure it doesn't get the flu

So yes to an aviator? Or get the 2 v mercury mountaineer for the 6 people in the family 😊

Wow man great looking Mach and nice work

Enjoy any/all Mach1 content!

Nice that gauge looks pretty cool Thanks for sharing

I just had to be out picking up bar stools. Thanks for the review. I just recently bought myself a new one similar to that one. How many of those languages in the manual do you understand?

Mikes Garage.. Dang brother Tim beat me to it. Oh well I still hope it tests good.

Awesome review brother. Thanks for sharing. Nice gauge. Keep the content coming. Hope you had a nice Christmas. Enjoy your night. Much love and RESPECT

Does it have srs airbag system scan and clear warning light on capability?

The biggest overlooked step however is throwing that boat anchor away and installing an LS platform engine

Very nice! Don't forget to take that tag off!

How do I mount this tv

Thank you for all the information but man are you going to show us how to install it or just talk about it damn.
