Dear users:

I've noticed that eQuest heat pump performance curves:

ChlrHPAirHeatCap-fHW&39+
ChlrHPAirHeatCap-fHW&39-

which refer, respectively, to the temperature capacity factor of the heat
pump in normal and defrost mode, seem to be exchanged. This is,
ChlrHPAirHeatCap-fHW&39+ curve seems to be the defrost mode curve, and
ChlrHPAirHeatCap-fHW&39- the curve regarding to normal mode.

I've plotted (with fixed condensing temperature) both capacities varying
exterior temperature, and taking the curves in the opposite way (below
39?F,ChlrHPAirHeatCap-fHW&39+, and ChlrHPAirHeatCap-fHW&39- above 39?F ),
the resulting HP capacity curve seems more like it should be.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you in advance.
