Re: electrical

Ron,

Thanks for the update.  Is that a 240V/60 amp feed?  I was thinking 
2000W each in the processors and bag the inline heater, or better yet, 
1500 or 2k @ 240 elements in the reactors : 4x the power, 1/4 the reheat 
time. 

A friend is sending me a CD with the 2002 NEC:  I doubt much of the 
Class1/Div 2 stuff has changed.  I will try to read up and am willing to 
share if you don't have one.

Felix
