mean annual temperature in Krísuvík) the value taken by F is 4.03. The values of N2 c and Zb can obtained by a common solution of equations (1), (11) and (14) using the mea- sured nitrogen (N2 m) and carbon dioxide concentrations in the steam. Results for the Krísuvík field The amount of steam condensation in the upflow of the Krísuvík field has been estimated by the two meth- ods just described (Table 4, Fig. 5). The results indicate relatively limited condensation for the majority of the samples; less than 50% and 30% in the case of conduc- tive heat loss and mixing with cold water, respectively. Estimation assuming conductive heat loss always gives higher values. This is so because the other model, in- volving condensation in cold water, accounts for some of the N2 in the steam sample by degassing of this cold water. Atmospheric contamination causes values for calcu- lated condensation to be too high. Such is clearly the case for samples 7, 8 and 23 in Table 4 as deduced from the elevated N2 content together with high N2/Ar ratios. Estimated condensation for some of the samples gives negative values (Table 4). Apart from analytical error which will, of course, contribute this could be due to: (1) TABLE 4.

Presence of equilibrium steam in the reservoir fluid that will cause C02 concentrations to be high for its temper- ature and (2) secondary boiling of partly degassed wa- ter. As C02 is more soluble in water than N2, primary boiling involving partial degassing will cause the remain- ing water to attain high C02/N2 ratio for its temperature and, therefore, also steam formed by extensive boiling of this water. Re-equilibration of partly degassed water with respect to C02 would enhance the increase in the C02/N2 ratio. It seems unlikely that equilibrium steam in the reser- voir accounts for the negative Z-values found for some samples. The presence of such steam would tend to cause H2 concentrations in the fumaroles to be high relative to C02 as H2 is considerably less soluble than C02. As indicated by the H2-temperatures in Table 4 such is not the case. Fig. 6A shows how partial degassing of equilibrated reservoir water will affect the C02/N2 temperatures for steam formed by extensive secondary boiling of this water and Figs. 6B and 6C show how the extent of the primary degassing affects values for calculated conden- sation. Degassing in excess of some 50% of the initial N2 leads to strongly negative values, both for Zc and Zb; 39
