Perhaps auxiliary heater is for preheating inlet water so that the temperature gradient of water is smoother. This would help to maintain more constant temperature in the core and thus increase controllability, as heat energy from reactor core is used for making steam at constant temperature, but

A major error in my previous post. It should be ~4J/gK x 70K= ~300J/g whereas heat of vaporization is ~2200J/g so obviously the inlet cold water will not be able to provide 100% of the cooling to condense the steam but only about 10%. But perhaps the large bulk of water in the E-Cat could
