The depression, not always sufficient for the engine, is "always" beneficial and follows with the engine speed. It would be better to put this shutter on the bubbler inlet. This would "control" the depression in the reactor and its gas flow.
On the other diagram which uses the pressurization of the turbo to bring the air to the bubbler, this “accelerator” could work instead of the anti-return.
It would also be possible to install a calibrated valve that would send air only when the pressure after turbo is greater than the bubbler pressure, of the type:
Yes, lots of good ideas!
If we close before the bubbler, his depression will increase and he will prepare more steam, ready to re-accelerate?
In a diesel the amount of air drawn is always important and, apart from the turbo, almost not influenced by the load.
The water / fuel ratio of 1 / 5 is a medium value. During the course it varies and is not always optimal, it is not known either how much air is added to the steam?
I think ideally we should dose the air and water in proportion to the fuel ... with joysticks at the tdb to start.
