Horace Hefner did some excellent analysis on this subject, presuming that there is a check valve and/or flow restrictor at the output. From the stability of the E-Cat temp, you can tell that it is at boiling temperature, with a mix of water and vapor. Simple steam charts will show you that the

I am pretty sure Rossi's stability and control problem stems from relying on heat transfer through a large temperature differential (low Watts per degree) to cool a reaction that has a positive temperature coefficient (ie gets more powerful with increasing temperature). The simple fix is to use

During the September test (with the large steam release in question) the temperature exceeded 133C... You can see it in the video. During the October 6th test, the temperature reaches 123.8C at the onset of self-sustaining mode, and it drops to 103C by the end of the test.
