I'm doing a similar kind of project, why does the water not distribute evenly? Could you turn the exchanger 90 degrees so the water fills the tubes and flows up, the water level will be equal in each tube . Why can you not increase the water flow rate?

The system is under really high pressure and temperature (about 40bar and 400 degrees) the pressure is dropped in the turbine to atmospheric, which causes the pressurised hot water to change into steam, thus no water. Also steam engines have purge valves for any condensation build up. The...
