I should have said the condensate _must_ have been coming back at a
higher temperature than the water in the tanks. It must have been well
above 18°C or the tank temperature would not have risen.
It would be hard to estimate how much higher it would be because the
tanks also lose heat, and we do not know the ambient temperature.
The feedwater temperature is recorded in the spreadsheet, and it
gradually rises.
Yes this can be. Unfortunately the usage of the second watertank is not
known.
It is also not known if the second heatdissipator and the second stem
tube where in use. Possibly these where connected to the idle side of
the plant.
Too much unknown factors.
