They could have two cold water inputs:
One feeds into an internal heat exchanger and then feeds the preheated
water into the reactor, and the other feeds the cold water directly into
the reactor. Then the electric energy needs should be strongly reduced
but cooling down the reactor is still possible.
With a COP of 6 this plant will be soon obsolete, when the prices for
electric energy rise as expected. Why didnt they implement gas heating?
Then the cooling problem for the 1 MW container is still unanswered.
52 boxes at 66 degree or more surface temperature in this container,
this needs cooling.
There are so much obvious and unanswered questions ..... Its impossible
to believe for me.

Rossi is always saying that he needs the electric power to "stabilize"
the reaction. Maybe it stars at 60 degrees, but needs to be hotter, or
needs to be heated for a long time, to "stabilize".
Whatever he means by "stabilize".

What I still dont understand: If the outer surface reaches 66°
then everything inside must be hotter than 60 degrees.
Why is electric heating still needed? Ok, there is cold water
flowing in. They could run this through an internal heat
exchanger and avoid electric preheating.
