Better NOT do it that way. I just told them:
"The secondary cooling loop should be started
before the Rossi device is turned on. You should
confirm that the inlet and outlet temperatures
are the same. In other words confirm that the
inlet and outlet thermocouples are calibrated
and they agree to within 0.1°C when tap water flows through."
They say ok.
I presume the secondary circuit + non-operating
eCat will cool down fairly quickly.
Could you please ask them to take photographs of
everything (all tube sections, the reactor bulge,
chimney etc etc) with a ruler -- both length and
diameter -- so that the volumes can also be calculated.
