The almost complete Warrot. Water cooled parrot .

Excuse my ignorance but what is the benefit of water cooling? Will it minimise evaporation? Give better ABV reading on alcometer?

Very interested to hear more :-)

That's awesome bloke! Very creative, but, is your PC not efficient enough to get the temp to 21?

In the background is that an ashtray for a motorbike. :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:

Sorry, had to do that....

You don't need to cool your parrot, unless he falls off his perch your condenser should cool the vapour properly.
Hence the name... condenser.

BUT
Nice to see some lateral thinking.... keep at it mate. :handgestures-thumbupleft: :handgestures-thumbupleft: :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Found the young fella hammering the small PC for the short column reflux flat this morning. Already had the little condensor' made so I though bugger it why not attach the condensor' to the parrot and see how it goes.

I love it mate.

Well done :handgestures-thumbupleft:


Gotta say this though.................geez it reminds me of my younger days :shifty:



....massive cone and 2 shoddies....faaark.

"THE WARROT". For the man that has everything :D

Bloody awesome potmash ..well done . :handgestures-thumbupleft:

You know you have to do a cooling water flow schematic now :-B

its missing one major part, How the hell do you collect out of that :laughing-rolling: :teasing-neener: looks cool

Hey Kelby, I will get the 1"-1 3/4 reducer after work tomorrow. Then it'll be complete. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
A benignity I noticed will be that the product will be in contact with about half the condenser when the main tube is full. Should get more accurate readings then, without always having to temp correct :happy-partydance:

I should add, the young fella is 3, and when I asked him what he was doing he replied working like daddy. He's been watching me anneal and flatten some pipe into sheet.

Do me a fave,

Put a vent in the beast if you using a connector soldered to still... avoids vacuum locks especially on shut down.

bt1

Would be good for collecting off a LM still :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Sam it's for a LM, I had a little cooler/condenser for it but as per previous the weeman decided to play copper smith with it.

Decided this arv to make the beak. Flattened some 2" into a sheet then cold chiseled scrap away, formed the tapered sides on a dolly and soldered the whole thing on.

Love the warrots beak . Thanks to son of warrot builder for initial copper beating and causing reason for warrot..............love the sturdy looking base too ..whats that made from.
:handgestures-thumbupleft:

The base is a piece of busbar, so solid copper. Gives it a good weight to balance the cooler. In the end I really only built it because I could :laughing-rolling: , and want to see what the temp drop will be in use. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Nice work mate. As it won't need much water you could get a small pump and some constant 20deg water and then you would have 20deg distillate. No more calibration. Will make a very accurate read :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Just going to run a 10% leak off, off the main water feed. Edit to my above post, the youngfella flattening the old one facilitated this whole episode. :laughing-rolling: Made a smaller version yesterday for a mate too. :-D
