The deflector/strangler is a wire with a bend in the top, a disk

shaped piece about a couple of inches down and a piece of flat

metal bent in a spiral shape. The function of this piece is to slow the

rising heat to obtain a specified range of heat in the boiler tube, in

turn obtaining the correct boiling temperature for the ammonia

solution. If the saucer-shaped disk at the top of the

deflector/strangler is dirty, it may block/impede the correct

functioning of the chimney. This may not allow the proper

temperature to be obtained, which in turn may over-boil the system.
