I think that the combination of using it horizontally AND with a low team volume will work against Rossi -- any pooling of water in the HE which creates a blockage would rapidly result in a temporary fall in the secondary output temperature. But which wins .. a blockage, or negative pressure from condensation? Any negative pressure from condensation (vacuum relief valve) feeding back into the eCat would result in a lower pressure and greater evaporation. Also, this argues against the "input pump" blockage -- negative pressure would increase the flow. All of which makes the 120C reading less understandable. > SWEP has also a software to calculate heatexchangers. ... I'll try to give it a shot next week. Maybe I'll also try to get the Elmer FEM system working again.
