so far, Gluck has not acknowledged the problem of pump location -- that I've seen.
He complained to me that I have be wrong about the position. He said the meter cannot be in the return pipe. He said it has to be between the pump and the reactor. I don't know why he thinks it has to be there, but that's what he said.
It cannot be between the reactor and the heat exchanger. The temperatures are too high and the fluid is supposedly steam, so it wouldn't work.
Rossi's only public comment about the position was that it is in the "lowest point in the room." That's not true, as witnesses could tell by looking.
Gluck continues to insist that no pipe can be half full. Perhaps he means this must be an airtight, pressurized system, like a hot water radiator. It isn't. It doesn't have to be, either. A system open to the atmosphere is fine, as long as you put the flow meter in a U or in a pressurized section.
