I will finish out the test soon and see if I might still need to trim just a hair off the cap tube. And then it will just be playing with the charge.

I thought you'd be interested to see what a graphic representation of your data looks like:
Y = temp, X = time
Y = COP, X = temp
Looking at your Temp vs. Time plot, it is very linear, with no down-turn in the range of data. This tells me that your system is not approaching any limit. This is a very good thing, to be operating within a linear range. It also indicates that it would be quite possible to reach higher temperatures, but the second graph indicates the COP-reduction penalty you would pay.
Awesome work from everybody involved!
Best,

P.S.: If you separate your horizontal data with tabs, it make it much easier to plot.
