Hi Ya'all EIS'ers. Now for a little bit of history. Back in February 1999 the question of run-away current in a constant voltage system, so I ran several brews where I let things have their own way. The results were very surprising.
For those who have Wplot16 or 32 the attached file should be very interesting. for those who do not have the file here is a synopsis of the run. Vdc = 330 volts Spacing 1.4", electrodes were #14 with 5" wet (one sq. in of area) Container was a 16 oz SOLO cup (grocery store item) with 14 oz of DW. The DW was vacuum boiled at 29 inHg for 5 minutes to remove dissolved gases. Initial Cf = 0.25 uS Initial current was 2.7 mA. At 15 minutes Ic = 130 mA and the color of the CS was an opaque dirty yellow. At 20 min. Ic= 146 mA. and agglomeration set in! At 40 min. Ic= 72.7 mA. and CS was clearing. At 55 min Ic= 30 mA. and the CS was crystal clear! At Time = 0, Cf = 19 uS, at 24 hrs. Cf= 12 uS. At T= 10 hrs, PPM = 6 At T= 24 hrs. PPM = 9.5 It did have a very strong T.E. So much for run away currents for a constant voltage system!! "Ole Bob"
