Plea for dimensions
| Martin Johnson 1 | 14/05/2017 19:56:46 |
| 320 forum posts 1 photos | I am doing calculations on several Loco designs to determine the amount of superheat. I know the Simplex has a single superheater flue 1.125" OD, but I don't know what the drawings show to go in it. I guess it would take 4 passes of superheater tube? What diameter? Maybe a Schmidt type arrangement? Or 2 parallel out and back pipes - one for each cylinder perhaps? Is a radiant arrangement intended? Description and major dimensions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Martin |

 517 forum posts 57 photos | Hi Martin, the superheater is a single out and back made from 7/16" x 20g stainless tube. It is a fully radiant type extending right to the back of the firebox. John |
