I am attaching an Excel simulation which uses the power measured via the secondary water path of the heat exchanger to estimate the primary vapor flow. With this information it is possible to estimate the water mass in grams remaining within the ECAT as it responds to water pump input flow and vapor escape.
There are two adjustable variables: Correction Factor for the thermocouple error in the secondary; and, water flow rate into the ECAT in grams per second. There are two types of charts to view. One shows the water remaining within the ECAT in grams as a function of time. The second displays the total vapor flow out of the ECAT at any chosen time. The information contained demonstrates that the ECAT should not overflow under normal operational conditions. Of course this is based upon assumptions which may need adjustments. This is my first post to the vortex and I have my fingers crossed. Dave
