I see what you are referring to. If the ECAT is allowed to operate in air of roughly the same local temperature, then it should behave the same. I understood that Dennis was suggesting a configuration with much tighter coupling to the coolant.
The ECAT will need adjustment depending upon the environment into which it operates. This is what should be expected. My personal opinion is that Rossi used the best approach possible to eliminate the most questions and they still complained.

I think the plan by Brian Ahern is to put the device in an air filled box with a copper pipe wound around the outside or the inside wall, and water flowing through the copper pipe. This would be a large flow calorimeter. I do not think it would be very accurate. I doubt it would be any better than the present calorimetry. There is a photo of a similar calorimeter at Defkalion. - Jed
