GL processor page.
« on: December 12, 2010, 11:49:54 PM »
Made a start on the GL processor page, most of the text is exactly as GL's original.

The one thing I had trouble with was the table.  I had to populate this manually, so massive room for error.

Would at least a couple of people please check it very carefully for errors please.

The one change I made was when the oil is cooling after de-watering.  Graham shows the heater to be on, which seemed a little pointless as it's not needed, so I've shown it off.

Await confirmation!

Yes there are probably hundreds of people using this type of bomb, I have one sitting in my shed.  But then Steve has a vested interest in that he makes and sells in line heaters, hardly impartial advise.

Chug has had an in line heater explode and posted comments regarding them this morning.  I think it reinforces the need to maintain the wikis impartiality.


Did you get a chance to check the table against Graham's original here:  http://www.graham-laming.com/bd/ecosystem/state_diagram_new.htm  ?

I've checked it Julian, spot on.

What we can do is mention safety upgrades - obviously there are several ways to improve the safety including inline heaters - we can present them all impartially, as you say, and leave it to the processor's constructor to decide what is best for them.

I've added links to the table that jump to each step. I've done this with
<div id="Step9"></div> tags rather than linking to the header names directly (in case they get renamed in the future).

Like the links, good idea.  Thanks for checking, assume you agree with missing out the heater on during cooling.

That was the intension, to list various mods towards the end, not if they are applicable to other processor types and probably link to separate pages for details to save the GL page getting too long.
