Ok after more testing Ive found the 2025 updated version likes 2 liters per hopper load. That would be if it were set it and forget it. However I can get more if I let it warm up but this machine cant sustain higher steam output and I figured as much. Its why the new one is designed the way it is.
So Ill be moving this testing over to the new and first build my 2026 CXF Si demo unit. That unit has a twin and Ill be building a belt drive generator for it using the DuroMax 714 or what ever it is VTwin. So Ill be in final stages of that build over the next few weeks.
So this new unit went together like a dream!!. Much faster and easier to build.
Ok so what Im expecting. This unit will have slightly less " usable capacity " However I think it will still have comparable run time on the same amount of fuel. Its 4 inches narrower but it has 6 inch more depth. Becuase the walls are tighter like I found on the earlier 10 inch machines they consume more of the available fuel. Where the larger ones they just create a cone in the center. So if it runs the same amount of time of un interupted run time. It doesnt matter if it holds more fuel. You still have to open the hopper. So just put more fuel in it versus adjusting un used fuel. Id rather put more fuel in than dig inside a hot hopper anyways. The water evap loop Im expecting it to work much better. The loop is tighter and closer to the hot zones; simply because the of size, It should run a bit hotter simply because its smaller and then I had enough length of the SS line to wrap a coil around the nozzle and that is at the end of the evap loop before the stream exits. This area at the nozle shiould be the hottest zone. Then the added insulation so it should retain a lot more heat than the old ones. So hopefully Ill hit the 1ltr to 1 kg or get close. I at least hope to exceed 500 ml to 1 kg.
