I double checked using a box fan in the top of the doorway and even with it going the upper floor does not heat after a few hours while the basement room broils at 39*c

Moved the unit outside to run tests

Test conditions 1 hour run time

5 readings taken in 10 minute intervals

Outside temp started at 8*c at test end was 10*c

Cold air vent -3*c on the fan wheel down to -10* from the center of the vent screen
Hot air vent 40*c to 45*c depending on where in the vent the reading is taken

Did not notice a defrost cycle

The show is not over yet its mod time

As the saying goes "If at first you don't succeed try try again"

Round 2

Dual 6 inch ducts

Sealed two layers of cardboard to the vent and resealed it with a 3rd layer over top

It was easy enough to do used the filter cover for a template trimmed the cardboard with scissors cut 5 3/4" holes with a knife and taped it tight with tuck tape.
