On you HVAC unit, was there a spark formed at the electrodes?  And if so,
was it above the water level or under it?  Was the entire electrode surface
submerged?

Dan,

the hvac unit i spoke of had an electrode configuration with one flat
rectangular silver measuring 2" by 1", a thin metal sheet.    the other
electrode was fashioned like a small arrowhead point ... thicker silver,
perhaps a 1/4" thick,  3/4" at its widest point (top)  and 1" from top to
point.  Basically it hung from a silver wire so that the point of the arrow
was just above the water surface ... but when the current was turned on, the
water would elevate slightly, forming a vortex cone.  A lightning like
electrical charged current traveled from the point to the water ... made a
neon type sound, with the whooshing of the vortex.
the thin sheet electrode was also hung from a wire ... it was submerged into
the water, with perhaps the top third above the water.  This sheet needed to
be Brillo padded regularly as the soot oxidation collected rather readily
when generating a gallon of CS.  The top of the glass jar with lid would
heat up ... i started running an aquarium pump to serve as a stirrer or
circulating device ... this helped reduce the heat buildup.

best regards,
