Interesting does it just chill the output or knockdown the vapour also?

Interesting idea. If your parrot needs cooling I recommend upgrading your product condenser.
That's where your cooling should be taking place. The parrot should just read it at the water temp. Unless as bluc suggested it is the condenser.

I used to run a Nixon stone, the condenser is up the top (usually a double helix) so the product comes of warm.
That parrot should work well. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
