Those are excellent suggestions. One consideration about the flow rate. Since you are ordering and I presume testing a 100 kW system, the delta temperature will be many times larger than the one tested on October 6 at the rate used then. I suggest that it would be wise to set the output flow rate to achieve a delta temperature of say 20 to 30 C as the target. We can assist you in determining the flow rate that should accomplish that goal ahead of time if you like.
Also, which power rating are you ordering from Rossi? Is it the driven level or the self sustaining one?

You could use a thermocouple inside of the nput water flow for measure, but keep a disconnect in the line to double-check by emptying some into a basin as well) Aussie Guy E-Cat <[email protected]> wrote: >I have just emailed Rossi with my interest in purchasing a 100 kW E-Cat plant. I do thank Vortex members (on the forum and privately) for providing the behind the scenes insight into the history of LENR that helped to make this decision happen. My bags are ready to be packed, funds locked down and I'm ready to fly to Bologna to see and test a E-Cat reactor. What I didn't know or were a bit rusty about in measuring a E-Cat has been provided by the excellent Vortex forum. My intention is to pay the funds into a Escrow account, request a test of a single E-Cat and if that is found to be OK, to proceed to pre delivery testing the 100 kW plant. Failure of either test to meet a min COP 6 result would trigger the return of all my Escrowed funds. I would appreciate suggestions as to the necessary equipment (manuf and model) you would suggest I would need to make the initial single E-Cat test measurements. I do have many thermocouples and DVMs with temp ranges but no flow meters. Does anybody know the manuf and model of the heat exchanger used in the 6 Oct demo as I plan to use that setup to do the delta T measurements. I do plan on taking a 16 channel data logger and digital oscilloscope (both battery powered) to check the input energy in ALL the wires going into the E-Cat. From what I have read here, the 2 temp probes should be inserted through the wall of the water hose feeding the heat exchanges enough so they are approx central to the water flow, while not touching the inside wall of the water hose and likewise for the outlet water hose. Is a 45 deg insertion angle acceptable? AG
