This is why we say inlet at the bottom on both. However, I still have my rc water coming in the top but looped the outlet water up above the inlet, creating a sort of S trap so it doesn’t drain, seems to work for me :handgestures-thumbupleft:

What is waters ability to release the O2?
I think a simple experiment could help.
If I ran a given amount of water through the rc at a stable temp, then shut off the flow and measured the volume left in the rc we would know if there is any loss due to this theory.
How many L do you reckon I’d run through at room temp of say 25-30 degrees?

Yes I do have the RC with the water input where the vapour first meets and have the same at the PC where the cold water condensers the vapor at contact. With my 3" pc I twisted the pipes to create a flow and the vapour current hitting a cold spot and going thru a vortex as it becomes liquid is the best way to go on my setup.
Cheers Bryan
