I introduce myself, Didier, I live near Valenciennes, I am passionate about car mechanics and good handyman.
It's been a little over a year that I'm interested in the Pantone process, which I discovered on the QUANT'HOME website.
I decided to take action and I chose the Corsa as the first victim
This is an 91 vehicle that I bought used, I do not know
not its exact mileage (5 digit counter).
Since I changed the clutch and the alternator, I think it must have 230000 or 330000Kms.
The technical choices:
Given the place remaining under the hood, the bubbler was automatically excluded. I prefer the solution of the GV (Thank you CAMEL1).
My first version (I'm in the third) was of the compact type, it had a strong resemblance to the project of CRYSPUS (AX D) with some nuances nevertheless.
The one-piece all-copper assembly except the rod (12 threaded rod), included the reactor followed by a mini annular SGS.
In this version the fresh air that you all used for the steam / air mixture was replaced by a part of the exhaust gas.
This version never worked because of the Automatic Central Heat Drain, in fact more because of the vent hole that I had not drilled.
I dismounted everything and started again on the basis of what works.
However, I kept the principle of the threaded rod.
The more conventional 2 version did not convince me, the GV was placed in the reactor, which generated more hot water than steam, due to the length of the pipe.
So here is the 3 running for almost 2 months
The reactor:
12 threaded rod of total length 230mm, long useful 200mm
14 * 1 Steel Tube
12 * 1 copper inlet / outlet tips soldered to the reactor tube.
The GV:
Ring type 140 mm long consisting of 16 / 18 tube and 20 / 22
the exit is in 10 / 12 the entered in fall of pipe of brake.
The "pierced" trap is fixed on the BV
The "washer fluid" reservoir stuck between the air hose and the brake master cylinder.
As soon as I can send photos
