The customer did not use any of the heat. Certainly not anything like 1 MW. We know this because I.H. and others took steps to detect the heat from the roof and walls, with IR cameras and other devices. No significant heat was found. Also because the customer had no employees, conducted no business, and no one answered the telephone there. If anyone was operating a boiler over 117 kW or similar industrial equipment in that building, they were violating Florida law, because no boiler is listed at that address: http://www.myfloridacfo.com/Division/SFM/portalFiles/boilerSafetyPortal.html?Action=ShowBoilersPage Here are the regs for boilers: http://www.myfloridacfo.com/Division/SFM/BFP/BoilerSafety/documents/BoilerSafetyBookletWEBEffective04102016.pdf "Water heaters that exceed 400,000 btu/hr heat input [117 kW]; or 210 degrees F at the outlet; or 120 gallons nominal water containing capacity, are classified as hot water supply boilers, and are regulated by the Boiler Safety Section of the Bureau of Fire Prevention, Division of State Fire Marshal." Rossi's device only produces 20 kW, with no excess heat, so it does not need an inspection. If it really produced 1 MW as claimed, it would be a violation. It is so badly constructed and instrumented I expect it would explode at 1 MW. The heat was low grade, and there are not many industrial processes that could use it. The fluid leaving Rossi's reactor room was just above 100 deg C. Returning it was at 60 deg C. That is what Rossi told Lewan. The reservoir remained level so it was the same water looping around. So if there was any process heat in the next room, it came from a heat exchanger and it had to be cooler than 60 deg C. I am sure there was only a 15 kW radiator in there. That is why Rossi refused to allow anyone in. A small radiator in the customer site would be proof that the whole test was a fraud. Rossi removed instruments and set up the test in ways that made it difficult to measure the heat balance in his own room. It gave a false indication of excess heat. This also made the test dangerous, even at 20 kW. Despite his efforts to obscure the truth, I could see from his sample data that there was little or no excess heat. I.H. was able to make additional measurements confirming there was no excess heat at all. - Jed
