Rossi has said that his megawatt plant will produce steam with 200°C and thus pressure is 1.6 megapascals. I think that modules are connected paraller, therefore one individual module will operate at 1.6 MPa pressure. This should be in line as demonstrated E-Cat was peak producing 7kW ± 1kW heat, then final product would boost up to 200°C with 27 kW output. i think that the small orifice was there only for demonstration purposes, in order to simulate e.g. steam turbine that is connected into MW-plant. Right now outlet hose was not connected into anything that would cause backpressure or demand work from steam. Therefore work had to be simulated with small orifice. —Jouni
