Peter, thanks for this idea. This superheating process to eliminate corrosive agents might be plausible with Rossi. Therefore we might not be able to trust thermometer as a reliable pressure sensor, if it is not placed under the liquid water level. But we need to find other means to measure pressure inside, if we are to do accurate calorimetry.
And also special thank you for understanding why steam quality is important factor in the industry. Indeed, water droplets in the suspension may cause corrosion in the long run. This tells something how misplaced steam quality discussion has been. —Jouni On Sep 19, 2011 8:30 PM, "Peter Heckert" <peter.heck...@arcor.de> wrote: > Am 16.09.2011 21:26, schrieb Alan J Fletcher: >> At 11:57 AM 9/16/2011, Peter Heckert wrote: >>> The important information is: There is no superheated steam because >>> inside the ecat is everything almost at boiling temperature.
