HI y'all, longtime lurker now poster here.

I'm planning on upgrading from a (an) HX Cimbali Junior to an E61 DB machine. As I understand it, the thermosyphon heating the E61 group was designed for the higher temps of HX steam boiler water, and for a DB machine with brew boiler water circulating the group tends to run a little cold. It would make sense then that the size of the thermosyphon tubing is important for a DB E61 machine, but this information seems to be hard to come by. Is there some sort of database with this information available, or perhaps even a database of DB machine temperature profiles anywhere? Or am I being too nitpickety, and most DB machines are similar to each other?

Cheers, Tom
