Hi Vickie, The minute changes in conductivity caused by remaining dissolved solids in various distilled waters has a dramatic effect on yield with HVAC processes, by my direct observation. From reading others experience with LVDC, it is apparently the same. Since particle size is probably affected by current, it probably changes that also, but not as dramatically as yield, suspect. I think yield plotted against conductivity is probably a curve which starts out relatively flat, and turns up steeply as resistance decreases and current increases. When I get a amp meter on my rig, I will log that for sol concentration Vs current. The cost of particle size measurement is a continuing barrier for me.
Some say that a starting PPM---sorry, I do not have that in mS---of about 0.8 is ideal in the nominal 10KV AC range.

Hi everyone and thanks in advance! I'm trying to understand why there seems to be a variation in startup currents when using Distilled Water (DW). The stuff I am using is from a company called Cullyspring Water Company. Notes from the label are as follows: Distilled Water Member International Bottled Water Association. Purified to USP standards by seeam distillation, reverse osmosis, deionization, sub micron absolute filtration and ozonation. If y'all could look at what you are using and let me know what it is and if it might say anything similar to the above. I would be especially greatful for information from folks who can and do check initial starting current flow and perhaps let me know what your starting current is also if they are using LVDC/LVAC/whatever. I've seen some data flow by (Ole Bob here) and there seems to be a vast difference in current flow from what I am getting and I am wondering why and what the differences might be. If you wish to email me directly instead of the list, that would be OK and would probably take the load off the list :-). I'll correlate and summarize to the list if there is interest. Thanks and take care, Vikki. -- Victoria Welch, WV9K, DoD#-13, Net/Sys/WebAdmin SeaStar.org, vikki.oz.net "Walking on water and developing software to specification are easy as long as both are frozen" - Edward V.
