Issue overview
I think it'd be less confusing if terms can be clearly separated.
-
So in this description, it uses the term energy input ratio (EIR) modifier and variable called DefrostEIRTempModFac.
-
But based on how I'm understanding, this DefrostEIRTempModFac is actually an "EIR" and not "EIR modifier".
-
Because for this defrost power estimation, it is trying to calculate actual power during defrost cycle by multiplying "rated heating capacity" with "EIR" (= actual power / rated capacity).
-
For other curves used in coil objects, those are really "EIR modifier". As they are multiplied to "rated EIR" and not to "rated capacity".
-
So I thought it'd be less confusing if the documentation can say "EIR" instead of "EIR modifier".
