condenser tubes

<< < (2/2)

mgj:
O ring seals?

or make them a press fit and use Loctite 574 is it.(the orange sealant goop which seals everything.) the Loctite goes into
a shallow groove so its invisible.

lordedmond:
thanks for the reply

to tight tube spacing for  O rings 

I will look into the goop

boatmadman:
How about make up a suitable taper plug and push into the tube end so the end expands onto the tube plate?

mgj:
Is this a condenser like with a vacuum pump and all?

lordedmond:
its the condenser for a triple expansion steam engine  it returns the waste steam to water and thus plus a vacuum to improve the efficiency of the final stage

the tube plates are a bit thin at 1.8 mm brass one end is ok as it can be done before assembly a drift could work in the other end though
