I am in the process of sizing the steam path from regulator (Stroudley type) through superheaters (radiant type) for a double TICH with enlarged cylinders. The cylinders will be 1-5/8" bore by 2.5" stroke. The potential for greatest restriction will be in the two concentric (tube-in-tube) superheater elements. Generous flue area has been allowed for these but if this comes up short additional flues (and elements) can be added. No doubt there is a maximum steam path size for a given set of cylinders after which additional area is of no benefit. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on this.
