In my case it appears that the enclosure is to blame. Sent Hal an email over at Tradewinds and he said that the compressor should not be cutting off until the desired temp is reached. Likely cause is over heating. Even though the lid was off its still not enough. He said I'd need to eliminate or upgrade my exhaust fan. Cfm of the exhaust fan would need to match the 340cfm of the chiller fan to be effective if I were to close the lid. I'm going to retry the test with the unit out of the enclosure and see if this holds true. I still need an aesthetic looking enclosure so as not to rile the HOA so I'll be modifying the box with duct work to bring fresh air direct to the compressor side and exhaust the hot air directly out the side of the enclosure. I'm gonna go get certified in HVAC now so that I can finish my tank setup .
