condenser tubes
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
