Hello Together, Find an Water-Heat-Exchanger for Stoves from the 1920-30 build by GAMO/Paris and it works Today also good. Cold Water with a Syringe in and it comes boiling out. Bye Peter
Hi Peter I saw that - or something similar - on ebay and wondered what it might be a component part of. On its own it wouldn't cope with a large enough flow of water to give a decent output from an instantaneous hot water heater, unless working in parallel with more of the same? Or, reverse logic here, and it's part of a distillation plant (alcohol 'still')? John
I've had a look in the Ultimheat online catalogue of stoves and heating appliances going back to the 19th century and a search for Gamo throws up a trace in a trade directory from 1934 as a manufacturer of water heaters. Gamo, 66 Rue Saint Sabin, Paris. I appreciate of course that your experiment was to illustrate the efficiency of those coils, Peter, and wasn't a suggestion that it would be used to heat water necessarily but it looks probable it was intended to be used to do that after all and not as a heat exchanger 'the other way round'. John
Hello John, No that is not an Still for Moonshine. That is for making hot Water in the Bahtroom like another One from my Gas Collection. Bye Peter
