I think they’re actually 10mm. which is close enough to 3/8 if all you care about is solvent flow, but not if you’re trying to swap fittings on the pump 
reasonably sure I got one in the door that came with 1/2" JIC adapters from the OEM.
Yes only the bottom of the collection is jacketed. Should I jacket the whole thing?

Yes, most definitely.
And passive all day. That cmep can’t keep up and the silence will be very soothing

I was still planning on using dry ice slurry in the material columns so I could avoid having to get a -80 chiller. I will be making. Shatter and crude.
Do you use a chiller/heater? Or just a chiller?
Are you at home or a regulated facility?
I can show you how to make a chiller that you can get everything you need cold enough.

I’m not in a regulated facility. If I can dream it I can do it. That being said. I’m somewhat limited for space so if it involves the use of a big freezer I may not have space for that.
I thought the system was larger then it is. Once i realized i said passive
How much solvent do you run per run
Lol good eye

Depending on what the finished product is going to be usually around 4lbs/lb
Nice catch on the kinked hose.
really obvious once you know it’s there.
Kinked hoses can also burst…
although we were running 600PSI ethanol when that happened, so it wasn’t quite as much of a heart stopper.

right now 30-40 pounds, with new system I will be using 100-120lbs per run
Stay 1/2" on your lines and if you look closely at how that picture was cut from its background you’ll notice that line likely isn’t pinched, it was just cut from its background oddly at that point.

You’re not going to get the full half inch throughput even with half inch lines on a normal CMEP OL, but I met with them at their factory and saw their new prototypes and they’re shipping out soon with 3/4 inch fittings that are full bore and not necked down, and the pump can use all the throughput no problem.
