All the generators have to be balanced- heating capacity = cooling capacity; you cannot cool the second E-cat in a row with steam- very bad heat transmission. It must be something like warm- hot- very- hot- steam, or with the cooling "line" under pressure. Not an easy problem, however not an impossible one.
