If you read Mats Lewan's book, you would see that the steam issue was settled with a test by Levi where the flow rate was increased to the level that steam was not produced.
"One of Levi's colleagues had measured the dryness of the steam and certified that it contained only a small percentage of water, but the measurement method was questioned and the debate continued for months. To avoid this problem, Levi preferred just to heat the water, but to stop it from boiling, he had to pump much more water past the hot reactor: about one liter per second, or five full buckets a minute--more than typical fuel pumps in gas stations. Levi didn't have such a large pump so he had to connect the inlet hose directly to the tap." The results were said to be more powerful than the previous test working for 10 hours with power supplied only to the control unit after it was started up. "The E-Cat had been running for 18 hours nonstop, with smooth and powerful energy production. For Levi, it was interesting and impressive. He could rule out a chemical reaction as a heat source." I would recommend reading Lewan's book if you have not just to get the gestalt of the situation. Although we have followed it closely, it helps to put all the relevant details in your mind.
