The true question is... Why?

Id find it to be more of a burden than useful IMO, But then again ive always been a huge fan of "Use what you already have available"

What was it originally for? I have a stainless steel liquid-to-liquid heat transfer which was originally for heating diesel fuel in northern trucks. Has a fuel line in/out and a coolant line in/out. I was going to use it as a condensor but decided it might be less efficient than my worm bucket. Plus I was positive of the internal construction so...it still sits in the garage.

But that is an interesting condensor too..not sure if I would run my product through it though, maybe use it to cool your cooling water?

If I tripped over that, I'd probably grab it and sit around scratching my head. I like goingbroke's idea. You should have bigger biceps in any case.
