## Hints
<br>
For more information about Heat Pumps look at [Wikipedia about HP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pump).<br>
If you are interested in questions like "how refrigeration systems works" read Patrick Kotzaoglanian books.<br>
If you want more technical details, sophisticated scmemes, "how EEV can be driven by temperature" diagrams, etc. refer to vendors manuals (you can find a lot in Alfa Laval brochures, Danfoss guides, and so on).<br>
For refrigerants and oils types comparison see wiki.<br>
<br>
## Personal experience
Note that the SCT013 sensor and the current monitoring scheme cannot be used for accurate measurements and accurate COP calculations. Use wattmeter for accurate power measurements.<br>
Measuring the temperature of a warm floor with sensor at one point is a bad idea - it's better to deal with temperature of the "hot in" water coming from all over the floor, as implemented in firmware.<br>

Deep regeneration schemes are useful only for some refrigerants and only in certain temperature ranges. I also tried deep regeneration, I was convinced that the theory coincides with the practice and then also refused this idea.<br>
In general, it is possible by complicating the refrigeration scheme to win somewhere 1%, somewhere 3%, but all this leads to significant time and money costs, compared to not very much profit.<br>
Summary: If you want experiments - Experiment. Want reliably and quickly - make system simple.<br>
