Eric, the calibration apparently is accurate according to the text. I would guess that the insulation surrounding the water jacket and the addition of extra insulation on the top surface ensures that most of the heat ends up within the water. The calibration is key.

The trend is the same. The device may be hotter than it would be in the case of open-air cooling. But since the water bath does not enclose the inner housing on all sides, I suspect there is a significant heat loss through the top of the inner and outer housing. Although I don't think you were addressing this point, it seems to me that this would lead to an underestimation of the true energy output. http://i.imgur.com/MoEJGv3.png [1] Eric [1] Taken from http://www.e-catworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Lugano-Confirmed.pdf
