Just want to put this into perspective - while I agree that a radiator setup is a great idea and certainly improves the efficiency, your ambient temperature has a big impact on the overall cooling!
Where I live, 8-10 months of the year we are above 40C which then has a negating effect on the effects of the radiator! I couldn't imagine using only 20L of cooling water, I just don't think it would be sufficient in my case, perhaps that would also need to be taken into account...

2 Q,s is 2400w enough to run 50lt a pot still, 25lt strip runs and 35lt spirit runs about 10lts of water.
Element placement, i know it has been asked before and i have glanced over it but cant find the thread again.
How far from bottom should it be placed?
Cheers ozzy rum...
