That's terrible, then. The thermistor is (my eye) 2.5 cm from the closest point of the incoming steam line (the center of the block) through solid brass.
My 2-resistor calculation then gives a 5V (5C) offset. (I couldn't find the 22passi link). I tried a triangular resistor mesh with 21 elements (a crude approximation of a tube with a 0.2cm wall thickness) and it gets even worse, not better ... 10V/10C. I'll have to double-check my methodology, but I think I'm doing it right. I might try to simulate a rectangular mesh (Spice or Elmer) -- but I'm short on time for a couple of weeks. ----- Original Message ----- > In the video Rossi points to the spot.
