As I have guessed that rational ratio for steam and hot water is around 60-80%. With this vaporization rate, it may take up to two hours before E-Cat is starting to overflow.
Anyways, I see that it is absolutely impossible for Rossi to control anomalous cold fusion reaction so that it would match exactly with the water inflow rate, because I think that even 5% variation in heat output would cause drastic change of steam temperature, if E-Cat would produce 100% quality steam. But core must always be completely filled with liquid water, and if this is the case, steam temperature is always at the local boiling point. This means that water inflow rate must be higher than average steaming power of E-Cat. There is just absolutely no way to overcome this issue. The heating element in water boiler must always be filled with water, and because water inflow rate is fixed, this means that it must be adjusted beforehand at the level that is more than average steaming power. Therefore we must use different means to deduce the real heat output, and as I have suggested, assuming large amounts of steam to be cause for over pressure inside E-Cat is the most sound assumption, and it may lead reliable calculations, because temperature measurement is accurate. - Jouni
