Defkalion confirmed what we discussed here, that their reactor cores are
designed for full on/full off operation ("bang-bang"). This is how
conventional natural gas-fired heaters work.http://www.defkalion-energy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=4601#p4601 marksnoswell wrote: The specifications for the multi-kernel unit state an output power of 10-45kW. Is this a range for fixed output or a range over which power can be varied? For multi-reactor Kernel units, there is a nominal, maximum allowed, kW output value defined during Hyperions first setup (during its installation). This setup actually controls the maximum number of reactors allowed to operate concurrently. Every reactor has a fixed power. So kernels output is scalable up to the maximum output defined. marksnoswell wrote: If the output level is controllable what is the degree and accuracy of control? Yes, as answered in the previous question. marksnoswell wrote: If the output power is variable what are the time parameters -- time constants / settling times? We will provide such tables with final product specs. marksnoswell wrote: If the output power is variable how is this achieved -- by continuous control of all reactors at the same time or by powering down reactors to a standby mode (if this is possible)? Every reactor can be put in Off and then On mode, if required by the monitored operation conditions (see Δ calorimetry). Stand by mode in our terminology means stop all reactors and prepare the Hyperion for a moove (from factory to site or vice versa). Please note that overal performance is controled by Safety/Operational PLCs, using balancing algorythms and the interoperability parameters in accordance with Hyperion's use. Thank you
