Part 2/5:
At the moment, the system operates under a voltage of 110 volts RMS, drawing 12 amps of current, which puts the power consumption at an estimated 1000 watts—a calculation further confirmed by the team. Notably, the duty cycle is estimated to be around 80 percent, indicating a robust operational capacity.
Set Point and Cool Down Process
As the team gears up for the final stages of testing, they expect to reach the desired set point temperature imminently. Once this threshold is achieved, the plan is to maintain the operation for an additional half-hour before executing an abrupt power cut. This will allow for a detailed analysis of the cool down curve, essential for understanding the thermal behavior of the device.
