Hi Guys,
Just want to run a few things by you all before I start cutting, I've attached a few pictures I knocked together (missing a few bits but its late and working with pipe in sketchup sucks) for what Im intending to build to get your feedback.
Basic 3 inch design,
Reducer 2" to 3" I'm doing this as a temporary solution, I intend to modify my boiler to accept a 3" coupling but for now its not really an option.
Column I currently have at 1500mm and will be packed with copper mesh, I did ask if there would be any cross metal funk so if anyone knows let me know.
Plates While not currently drawn to scale I intend to mount the plates centrally, I'll notch the botom plate a little to direct the reflux down the center. plates at 30deg
and top slightly overlapping the bottom. Question how much of a spacing between the top and bottom do you recommend? Also no thermo drawn but intend to
mount digital unit just under top plate. outlet will have flow control also.
Condenser 300mm in total length made from 6mm pipe double wound, real bugger to draw so not perfect but enough to get an idea, question should I back the center with
copper or leave open? Ive also got a vent currently in the center of the top cap (will be a loose fit cap) is this ok or should i mount the vent of center?
Any feedback or advice before I start cutting?
Cheers
