Your gonna love running n2! Hot loops work ok, but the n2 push made a huge difference for me personally.

Exactly! Better off without em.

Word word. Yeah I may invest in a crc setup myself. We’ll see. For now I’ll use my filter plate as a poor mans crc if I choose to remediate any material. Light remediation. Never tried yet but in theory it should work lol.

It’ll be a first. I’ve been doing a lot of studying watching the OSS videos on YouTube to get a better understanding of pushing with n2 and what not. So far so good.

Yeah, I’d rather not have to heat any solvent and risk picking up impurities by the temperature changes.

I’ll let ya know how things go whenever I do a :man_running: :call_me_hand:

25L jacketed reactor with condenser and 20" filter housing. Vacuum rotary feedthrough on top with long prop speeds up evaporation. Designed to be modular so has quick release hose connectors that are self sealing.

She’s a beaut. Shame I have to sell her … :wink:

Awesome rig and intriguing design
I would love to hear the parts that where used and where they where sourced for the stirring apparatus you build
I choose a magnetic coupler but this looks nice
:clap::clap:

I can dm you all the parts if you want? I was going to use a magnet or a ferromagnetic coupler but in the end I built that one. It’s quite standard, I just copied what people where selling. It uses several gaskets that are rated to high temps and long term use and has an internal sealed lubrication pocket. I’ve had the system well over 100C and it was fine and didn’t leak. Good vacuum too.

Make a thread with a detailed parts list, with links, instructions on how to build the “agitator” etc. it’s what this forum could use in these hard times.

Thank you for all the kind words, it was a labour of love for sure. I’m in the UK and sadly the law and covid has forced our business to change so its no longer needed. Months of design and manufacture and I only got to use her 5 times :weary: ! I’m still to scared to add up what it cost me …

I will try and dig up some of the CAD files for the rotary feedthrough but it was mostly drawings on scrap paper in the shed :sweat_smile: but heres some close ups of it.
