Guenter, I believe your "bickering" is misdirected. You need to read my response better and read the response of the person I am responding to and you might get an idea of what I am saying.
People are saying the spark plug in DGT reactors are being used to "plug" the hole, and nothing else. For DGT to do this simply makes no sense. And why 2 spark plugs? Did DGT simply make a mistake and accidentally machined an extra hole on both end plates and had to plug it with a spark plug? BTW, machining a spark plug thread is more difficult than machining an ordinary pipe fitting thread, which goes to show that DGT's use of a spark plug is deliberate. I am saying the spark plug is not simply being used to plug a hole. I am saying it is being used as part of the reaction mechanism. It believe it is being used to feed high voltage. BTW, as one who has tried using spark plugs in a reactor, I believe your simulations that you claim to be representative are faulty. Spark Plug CAN deliver High Voltages into the reactor, but NOT High Current, unless it is a highly short-lived transient current spike. And all this bickering is tiresome. I am trying to share what I believe about sparks and people are free to believe or not to believe. Makes no differnece to me.

Jojo, You must be kidding. >>>> Using a Spark Plug to plug a hole makes absolutely no sense. >>> Yes it does! A spark-plug is a proven design to direct high voltages/high currents into a high temperature/high/low pressure container LONG term. If Yo contact a manufacturer with specifications like that, he probably charges You a couple of 100$ per contact, and if he is honest, suggests to use a spark plug. Here we are again. I give You 1$ per contact if You guarantee me -50...300deg C operation over 20kHours, withstand voltage >30kV, pressure range 0.001bar to 50bar, and another 10k$ for a start. A spark plug cannot be beaten on that. Guenther
