Alan: Thx for doing the calcs... I too saw the TC lead wires going under the black tape which is on the fitting where they push on the flexible hose. However, if you look closely, the lead wires continue for at least another 2 inches after the black tape, so I think the actual TC was mounted closer to the center of the heat exchanger manifold.
Jed, can you contact Mats, and include the pic being referred to, and see if he can locate exactly where the Tout TC was mounted??? -m -----Original Message----- From: Alan Fletcher [mailto:a...@well.com] Sent: Saturday, October 08, 2011 11:08 PM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: Re: [Vo]:Rossi heat exchanger fitting I think that the sensor is under the black tape near the END of the pipe -- you can see the wire going under it -- which I estimated as 5 cm from the center. I did my calculation before you posted that ... if Mario Masso used HIS sensor position that would increase the calculated error. ----- Original Message ----- > Two more pictures of the thermocouple (from user agoz on 22passi blog) > http://www.redmatica.com/media/Thermo1.jpg > http://www.redmatica.com/media/Thermo2.jpg > Another user on 22passi (Mario Massa) computed that the thermocouple > in that position could give a reading as higher as 5 deg C more then > the water temperature (given the thermal resistance of brass and of > the contact surface water-brass )
