[Steam-engine] Condensing Steam Cars

[Richard Strobel]

Well Andy..let's see what kinda trouble I can get in here :-)

  If the Steam is condensed, the oil and water will separate..thusly "Oil 
Separators" were incorporated.

  We don't do it for fear of feedwater contamination..thusly leading to 
possible foaming and the dreaded siphon.

  Here's a freebee..rather than surf through the whole book, clicking on a 
topic under "Contents" works the best for me:

  Thanks....the list is quite slow lately
