decided to get the feed as far forward as possible, so that the cool air could be dragged across the coils rather than just go straight up the back.

Well understood if it was an Under-Bottom Scroll-Condenser, BUT, the fridge that I see, does not seem to be..

Anyway, I think you got the drift of my interest. Nothing of issue, just of interest.

I'm looking forward to much smarter design across MANY fronts - basic house passive design for a start! Again - crazy

It will be interesting to hear your NEXT design goes. I can't help the feeling that the problem with wanting to "Feel-Green" is that you are never satisfied... "..and that worked well, but if I did it this way , I could do even better.."

Thanks Tracker - never stop learning eh? I'd love to build a perfect 14sqr house with a solar-perfect oblique-gable roof.

Munre happy to help! Let me/us know how it goes.


Also (a little off-topic for this thread), we got our electricity bill today (Vic with a 3.4kW system and PFiT)... Over the last 97 days our Solar PV system made us $660! WELL on track for our $1k per year goal.

For a little more detail - in 97 days we imported 346kWh ($155 of wind electricity), and sold 1,232kWh ($814) of solar energy. Pretty happy with THAT!

Cheers,
Peter

Interesting how houses can remain cool without air conditioning.

We installed an HRV system about 2 years ago. Last year the maximum temperature inside our house was 27 (for one day only), minimum 13. We don't have air conditioning, fans, etc. We rely solely on the HRV to keep the place cool. This year the maximum temperature has reached 27, but only for a couple of hours. It will be interesting to see how high it gets in early February.

We do have heating in one room, the living room, but no-where else. The temperature in the main bedroom is the minimum mentioned above.
