Hello
I deleted the "gv" which was not heating enough because it was placed outside the pot. it was cooling the steam ...
I took out the rod (after 400km) from the reactor which was like at its entrance just a thin layer of rust dust.
I tinkered with a new stainless steel rod with a diameter of 10 minutes and 180 minutes long.
On the 300d turbo diesel
the exhaust temperature measured after the turbo after the generator and the GV it reaches 100kmh on a flat road 300 to 310c in one dimension if it opens a little more rarely it exceeds 400c
obviously it depends on the accuracy of the type K thermocouple
So no huge heat in games
In your assembly the rod of 180 mm is a good length
from 150mm to 250mm little difference on a mounting
air gap from 1mm to 1,2mm little difference
What you need to know a small air gap and a long rod reduces the passage of air is steam and this results in a drop in reactor outlet temperature (especially if it is measured on the outlet pipe)
the right way to measure the reactor outlet temperature is to place a tube inside the reactor outlet just before entering the intake manifold, although in practice this measurement is not indicative of good functioning it indicates only if one operates drowned reactor.
In my case even at idle in traffic, the temperature is always higher than 110c in driving it is around 140 c but quite variant sometimes 180c
The GV I do not design, that it is placed outside on a car it must be in the exhaust and generous dimension, it must be able to respond to demand instantly, a long descent followed by a blow of accelerator to go up it must be ready to provide ..
for the quantity of preferable steam control the quantity of water that is sent to the GV
It should not be forgotten that when there is water in the GV its temperature will remain at 100c and below.
the quick way to dry a reactor rod is to give it a good flow of air without water.
Preferable to let a higher air-to-steam ratio pass through the Reactor than too much steam.
Best to avoid drowning the stem nose.
What allows good circulation in the reactor is the depression at the outlet of the reactor, it is used for an atmospheric engine just by restricting the air filter.
the finding of a loss of power on a diesel engine is often due to the regulator (membrane which measures the depression of the intake manifold and which limits the injection of diesel for
prevent smoking
When the vehicle is stopped, it is sufficient to completely block the air intake by hand and to accelerate the engine if it does not take turns and smokes slightly. It is regulated (whereas an old diesel engine starts to smoke heavily. )
When the intake is partially flanged to force air through the reactor, there is a rise in temperature at the outlet of the reactor.
Ideally one should not restrict the intake, but organize oneself so that a good quantity of air passes through the reactor
400 km is not enough to initiate the system each time you put a new rod, or polish it must be subjected to heating (oxidation covering the deposit of water) so that the system s' generally improves near 1000km
most of the work on water doping is not the reactor but the air and steam inlet.
