The exchanger did work in the horizontal position. All it has to do is to condense and cool the vapor/water mixture that enters into the primary. The temperature of the exiting liquid was low enough and that is proof that the device transferred the heat. Location of the TCs is another matter that is not related to whether or not the heat was transferred.

But I have not seen the Brass manifold anywhere on their website. dont think the heatexchanger is unimportant. got the heater applications handbook from SWEPS website. ttp://www.swep.net/index.php?tpl=page0&lang=en&id=168 t comes as an exefile. Here is a screenshot about condensing applications: ttp://hphsite.de/vortex/SWEP-handbook.png I think Rossi did it perfectly wrong and the exchanger cannot work in orizontal orientation. WEP has also a software to calculate heatexchangers. It calculates verything, flowrates,delta_t and pressures. ossibly somebody could try it, it is free. Best, eter
