A jumbo cooler with huge fans will chill water faster, but once your reservoir temperature reaches the dew point, all that large surface area (or high airflow, in your case) is going to waste.
What would be interesting would be setting the fans on a temperature-driven fan controller so that they're on high while your reservoir temperature is above the dewpoint, and turn down once you've reached your end point. |
plus I enjoy making every component by hand)The fans that I have on my bong definitely blow more air than is required. My volenti will actually keep everything cool without fans at all.
In keeping with the spirit of "experimental" I decided to see if I could make the still better. I noticed that the plastic was getting to hot, so I added fins made of duct tape. Now I know that duct tape does not have the best thermal conductivity... but it worked pretty well in this case. I can touch the lid comfortably now, and the vapor condenses much more readily. I think that I was able to produce half a gallon in about 3 hours. Now that's not the best. Or even reasonable. It's alright though. It was very interesting distilling water
and now I have a kettle (Yay!) and a storage container - that I have to patch up
