has a lot of entries. It might help to be more specific as to which
installment is most relevant to the point you are making. Is it the
18-hour demonstration?
Yup. Let me put a link to it:

(You may need to reload the page to see this on the menu.)
I keep thinking I am going to establish a Rossi-Defkalion page, but like
everyone else, I am waiting for better data.
I am sure I have made it clear that I am not satisfied with the level of
reporting from Levi, Rossi and the others. On the other hand, as I said,
the brief report they made in NyTeknik and to me is roughly as detailed
as boiler test form. The only thing missing is the type of flowmeter.
Note that a boiler test report includes a great deal of other
information and other procedures, such as tests of the thermostats and
starters. When I say these reports have only as much data as the 18-hour
test, I mean the section devoted to calorimetry.
The information presented in a boiler test is not typically parsed out
the way the 18-hour test is presented. It is the same information, but
expressed in a different way, with different units (BTUs etc.)
Essentially, what they do is compare the measured temperature values for
a given flow rate against the manufacture's specifications, to confirm
it is producing as much hot water or steam as expected. The basic method
of measuring flow, inlet and outlet temperatures is the same.
