Jed,
I thought you said earlier that you had the plumbing layout but were not
allowed to show it. If so, there should be no doubt about whether there
is U in the system.

There has been some discussion here about the position of the flow
meter in Rossi's configuration. I have information from Rossi showing
it was located in the gravity return between the customer site and the
reservoir. I do not think there was a U pipe but I cannot rule that
out 100%. Nothing like that is shown and no one who was there told me
there is one -- and I did ask. Anyway, Abd pointed out that Penon
described the configuration in one of the lawsuit documents. It is a
little hard to understand Penon's English, so Abd added the comments
in square brackets:

The steam is then passed through the customer’s facility, where it

– flowmeter for measuring the flow rate of cooling water inlet
into the shelter. It is located along the line of return of the
water. between the Plant of the Customer and the 1 MW E-Cat.
The cooling water is contained in a tank, placed inside the Plant,
that receives the water from an external plant [sic, “tank”].
It is conveyed by pumps in [sic, “into”] the unit’s E-cat[s],
where it is heated to vaporize. The steam is collected in one tube
of the steam line, which conveys it to the outside of the shelter.
The water is so recycled to the internal [sic, external] tank in a
closed loop. The water is distilled water.
The external tank is connected with the internal tank, by a water
line and a floating valve, so that the level of water inside the
internal tank is maintained constant. The water flows from the
external tank to the internal tank by gravity. […]
* Note from Jed: "Cools up to its condensation" means it cools down
until it condenses.
This contradicts assertions by Peter Gluck.
