Oops, another Harry Schoell FAIL.

You know that line of heat exchangers that Cyclone is going to be making money on? Turns out their customer IBES is having a lot of trouble making the Schoell design work. From their May 2017 update:

Challenges:

The boiler is in its current configuration not generating steam with the required parameters. The engine requires 1000 psi at 550 Centigrade while we only have achieved 50-60% of that. The root problem lies with the heat exchanger in the boiler which restricts the chimney draft. Currently we are considering two options: 1. Revise the design of the heat exchanger to make it less restrictive; and 2. Forced flow in the chimney. We have decided to try with option 2 first and are in the process of getting the solution built.

Then in the June update:

Challenges:

The main challenge remains the heat exchanger. As mentioned above we have increased the output (to about 800psi) by forcing the draft in the flue but we are still not meeting the target values: 1000psi and 550 Centigrade. Our next step to resolve this is to redesign the HX.

And for the iJuly update:

Schedule for the next three months

August: Redesign and manufacture new heat exchanger and test.


Pretty bad when your customer is telling the world just how poorly Harry Schoell designs really perform.

Of course, if IBES lasts long enough to get a proper working boiler they will only then be in a position to determine just how bad the Cyclone engine really is.

But, Harry is busy moving on to the next twist of the Cyclone scam. This new diversion involves technology to store solar heat in an ionic compound in a liquid state. Who do we know who might enlighten us on this one?....
