I believe you are not referring to outside air but instead to air temp rise from return air temp (room air temp) to supply air temp. The answer is yes it should be more that 10 degrees. The delta T (temperature rise) for a heat pump should be between 15 to 25 degrees if the system is working properly. Many, many things can effect this from low to high supply air volume, and any number of refrigerant, control and compressor problems. If your supply air (Measured at the register) is only 10 degrees higher than your room temp (measured on the same thermometer) you likely have a problem.

The normal design is at least a 18 to 25 degree rise above room temperature depending on the system. I know because my system starting running all the time and when I put a thermometer in one of the outlet vents, it only read about 5 degrees above room temp.
We had a coil leak and almost no Freon in the system. The HVAC service person said it should be about 20 degrees or more for my system.

Yes, mine keeps the house at seventy all winter even when its 20 outside. High efficiency and undersized units will not work well under 32, you might use a heat monitor to help out.

That depends on whether it is the proper size or not and the outside temperature. If you think you have a problem you can check out the troubleshooting guide on the heat pump page at my source.

may be countless problems no longer sufficient airflow,grimy clear out,limit,grimy unit and so on., provide up fooling around beisg low priced cooling off the comp. everytime isn't a sturdy theory if u shop this up you will harm the comp so call a HVAC expert out to repair the little subject till now it is going to become a significant one.

It depends on the out side air temperature?

not really heat pumps use water out of the ground if I am correct. and it heats it to what the ground temp is. Not much room to adjust it. I would not own one myself it is to cold.

It should, but if it was a retrofit you need to increase the radiator surface area.
