I advised them not to turn off the calorimetry after the cold fusion reaction is quenched. I suggested they leave the calorimetry running until the cell reaches room temperature and inlet equals the outlet temperature. That should take about 20 min. I hope they do this. If they do, you will see all stored energy released during this phase, and you can add it into the total energy balance. You will see that total input energy is far exceeded by total output.
Isn't the primary steam circuit a closed loop? Surely the flow in that will stop very quickly, so nothing will get to the heat exchanger and the secondary circuit.
Do they have instrumentation in the primary as well as the secondary? The only real measurement they can make is the dump of the water from the eCat.
