Lol, nah it’s just an infrastructure detail that I can’t share.
Super excited to get her cranking. I’m worried that 1/2" tube between the receiving flask and keg won’t be able to keep up with the flow lol

I love field-fabbing this stuff. It’s so much more fun than actually running the equipment IMO
Can’t wait to throw away the rotovap portion at some point when we can’t generate nearly enough vapor to feed the condensers

I did one or two of the tricky welds, I have a guy I’ve been training up that did most of it. I like to train pipe welders on stuff that won’t kill you if it breaks lol

This is what I’m about to do lol
And have a buddy who welds for a living (and loves free oil) show me the ropes when he has time…

No substitute for practice. It helps to have someone give you a couple tips just to show you what you’re looking for. Then grab some pipe and get to work. When you’re confident in your open root 6g, send it to a testing company and have them pull it.

Welding is something I definitely want to get into myself… I’ve been thinking about it for a year, or two. I have experience working with hot air re-work stations for soldering up pcb’s/etc
Globe valves on a stainless water transfer pump that has a stainless impeller. Full flow control
Just put the globe valves on today and tested them. It’s so fucking sick!!!
FUCK SUBMERSIBLES!!!
Because I use like 4 lbs of salt with 3lbs of dry ice the submersibles just shit out after a while because of too much salt. This thing just says whatever and moves the water

If you can, only restrict the outlet and your pump will thank you. Restricting the inlet can cause cavitation from the low pressure in the impeller and it will potentially hurt the seals

Out feed is truly all that needs it. Arent jet pumps solid? Had to thaw mine out because water froze inside it. She’s purring again
