The price for the RIMS module was listed at $250.00It shows online as "sold out" and there's no price listed. Anyone remember what the price was?
There is no reason the liquid will mix well. There is too much dead space. The liquid can come in side port, and immediately flow toward the outlet, especially when heated on that side. The liquid on the other side will sit and get super heated by coil on that side. With rapid enough flow this will not be an issue as more mixing will be induced, but as slow levels (I can't say where that threshold is), it will be a problem. This is one of the reasons current designs are long and slender - to ensure adequate slow heating, contact, and mixing (obviously using off the shelf heaters is a reason too).Why?
that said I'm guessing a person would have to crush pretty course and use a lot of rice hulls with this?Well considering the output power I don't think slow flow was ever an option and anyway any significant temperature gradient would cause significant convection which in such a small vessel would provide more than adequate mixing.
This is partly true but still will likely not generate much compared to flow. The saving grace is the wattage density which is likely very low. Anyway having tested multiple RIMs configurations, the jury’s out on this design for me. Curious to hear experiences once in the wild.Well considering the output power I don't think slow flow was ever an option and anyway any significant temperature gradient would cause significant convection which in such a small vessel would provide more than adequate mixing.
