I apologize for the ruthless click bait. I am also sorry if someone else has come up with this design. I have trolled these pages endlessly and have not seen it. I am new to the forum and as such I expect disregard and vitriol. Please be kind, for I am merely a babe among wolves. (Or at least a babe among occasionally rude adult men who are probably less kind as the morning grows closer)
Idea is a hollow cold finger filled loosely with copper mesh and surrounded by the same mesh.
1-1/2" outer jacket
3/4" inner jacket
2-1/2" column

Re: NEW REFLUX CONDENSER DESIGN
It's called a "concentric"... See the link in my signature for an example... Unless your idea is different for some reason...
Re: NEW REFLUX CONDENSER DESIGN
My design was
a piece of 3/4 in copper inside
a piece of 1-1/2"
Brazed the gaps shut because it's easier to fill large gaps with brazing rod than it is to do with solder.
I think my design is more of a "hollow cold finger" suspended like a normal reflux coil. An empty tube jacketed with water suspended in a larger column.
If I'm being stupid and can't see that this is the same idea just say the word. You know better than I do on this subject.

He already did.

Re: NEW REFLUX CONDENSER DESIGN
Not sure I ever saw brazing rod used to make a column before.
Unique design or not, lets see how it works.

Re: NEW REFLUX CONDENSER DESIGN
The plans that your signature links to are not what I had in mind @rad14701. My idea was to replace a wrapped double helix coil at the top of a VM or LM COLUMN. Does it have enough surface area? Its 9" long and will be surrounded by copper mesh, open to the atmosphere on top.

Re: NEW REFLUX CONDENSER DESIGN
So you're thinking a large hollow "cold finger"...??? Pretty much just a concentric suspended in a column then...Andygr85 wrote:The plans that your signature links to are not what I had in mind @rad14701.

Re: NEW REFLUX CONDENSER DESIGN
a concentric is a whole column setup with its own type of collection. My idea is just a reflux coil. Like I said in the title. To be used atop a VM or LM column Maybe I should draw it out more clearly.

Re: NEW REFLUX CONDENSER DESIGN
It looks like your tube would have about 64 sq. in. of cold surface. That should be comparable to a coil of 1/4 inch tubing 7 ft. long. So you're in the ballpark. Now try it and let us know how it works.
Distilling at 110f and 75 torr.

Re: NEW REFLUX CONDENSER DESIGN
Ummm... No... I have concentric reflux condensers that can be swapped out with each other or replaced with a column section and a wound copper reflux condenser... Not sure where you got the idea that a concentric is an entire still... I do also have a concentric head that has collection and takeoff combined with it as well, however... That head can function in either pot still or reflux mode...Andygr85 wrote:a concentric is a whole column setup with its own type of collection. My idea is just a reflux coil.

Had you checked the link in my signature, as was suggested in my previous post, you'd have seen it... HERE is a link to where I first posted straight condenser pics...
Edited to add: I just used my concentric reflux column to produce neutral spirits from some Barley, Oat, Wheat Bran low wines that I stripped earlier today...
