I have read all the messages relative to simple generators and
problems with some of the automatic generators.
I would sum up all problems to be related to one important thing,
"Lack of Knowledge".
No matter if a person is technical or non technical, he must firm up
in his mind a simple and basic understanding of the process.
I fully realized this when I was a beginner. I am sure the technical
people will agree with me. Some may have had experience with other
similar processes, which made it much easier for them.
Two things make this easy for everyone, technical and non technical.
That is "Current Flow" and "Time".
These both have to happen and need to be uniform.
When things start to change with either of these, we need to know it.
Relative to the simple generators, I can't understand why everyone
does not add a simple LED.
I suspect the lower voltage units, 5, 6, or 12 volt DC may not
preform as well with the LED as the 24, 27, 52 Volt units, or even higher.
I have even added LEDS to 240 and 480 control systems with success.
What doe the LED tell us?
Very simple, ....... the Process is working, working too fast, or not at all.
If the LED is too bright during the first few seconds, REJECT the WATER !
How much simpler can you get? A FIFTY CENT instrument.
Unless one is blind, he can understand this.
The next tool, that could be considered FREE, due to the value of CS
is a simple current meter. These vary from a cheap 5 or 10 dollar
Multimeter to a 1 INCH LCD digital meter with all kind of input settings.
Next........ keep a log of time and current flow.
I did this from BATCH ONE. Still have the notes in my CS package in
a small notebook.
I did this at frequent intervals,
current at 5 min
at 10 minutes and so fourth up to 30 minutes, 45 minutes and one hour.
This is just as important with the better automatic units as it is
with the cheapest and simplest unit one can make.
Unless the unit has a built in current meter, this is the proof and
quality control that is needed for batch after batch.
It certainly is important to the automatic units as well as the
simple 2 pr 3 component unit.
I have seen only one or two of the Self Contained units and automatic
units. Seems they would be more trouble to use the current meter as
to connecting it into the circuit. I think it could be done in a
number of ways with simple mechanics.
For the LED to work properly and last indefinitely a current limiting
resistor must be used. The size will be 600 to 12 ohms for the lower
voltage in the 5 to 12 volt range and 1200 to 2400 for the higher
voltage units of 24 to 52 volts.
The conductivity of the solution is also a current limiter
resistor. This is why the brilliance of the LED changes slightly
with time as the batch nears completion.
The very important function of the LED, for the ones that do not have
an EC meter is that of rejecting distilled water. If the LED is
bright, reject the water.
Avoid the LEDS with blinking circuits, multicolor functions or any
other fancy features. This effects low current draw and they may
not work at all.
Any comments or questions?
