yes its in the same cooler

We use an Electro Industries electric water boiler, and a water heating manifold that was originally designed for a hydronic floor heating system. It’s pretty savage and supplies all of our pressure vessels (including our massive 48" horizontal unit) with enough hot water.

No I meant from extraction to recovery…do I let it set room temp couple min before 85f water or just straight out dry ice acetone then into warm water? Don’t wanna crack the machine
…also I will be going from recovery directly back to extraction a lot…its the only way I can really save money…run 3 columns into same collection, recover in btw… then the last time I can open w .5lb left for the pour , regardless if making diamonds I do this every time, gets every drop out that rounded bottom
Thanks so much buddy

I personally just have a plastic bin, fill it with water. I got a submersible heater that I drop into the water hooked up to a temperature controller. So that water just stays hot all day… then I use a cheap submersible water pump. the pump runs water to a simple manifold to direct water to the base or material column which are both jacketed. And I simply open the valves to the respective place I want hot water to run through. Pretty simple. This image shows my whole water setup. Real simple. I use quick disconnect fittings to be able to plug and unplug the hose lines to my material column also if needed I can simply drop the pump into a cool water bucket to cool the base and column down a bit

Ok so all this teck is about rising temps of your recovery gas
Wich i also did ( all equipment got confiscated last month by the police)
But i also used another trick that i haven t heard Many of You talk about
I bought My extractor years ago so splatter platters were new at that time
So i had a welded base
I made a chocolate fountain inside My tank
I took two microwave racks and put round cake baking molds on top so i had a 12 base pot then a 10 internal splatter platter and then a second 8 " splatter platter each each platter was 2" high with a inch inbetween
So the liquid would fill the first overflows onto the second and overflows filling the botom of the base
By dooing this i made My eevaporation surface

Sorry wasn t finished
Surface a lot bigger
I would blast like 10 to 12 kg in a 2kg tube and end of the day clean out the pot
Yes iT is a little more mesy
but because your evaporation surface is larger your pressure stays higher making your recovery pump run more efficiënt
En thus recover faster

I know it’s brought back from the dead but what water pump are you guys using for jacketed coulms that can handle heat

My water never gets above 85 so I don’t burn my extract… I use a regular cheap pump from harbor freight. It was 40-60 bucks can’t remember

How long does it take to heat up?
Look at step 5
It holds 45 lbs of solvent to 90 no problem.

for less than another $100 you could use black-pipe to hold the water heater element, and rubber heater hose to put the sources of ignition on the other side of a wall…or at least 20ft away from your solvent tank.
there are pictures around here somewhere.
if you use black pipe, you can then use a standard hot water heater thermostat as your over temp protection.
if you want to get more fancy, glacier tanks sells tri-clamp adapters that will take a hot water heater element, so you can make a nice shiny version for less than $300.

I was going to use stainless tri clamp everything they have the inch and a half triclamp heater elements on Amazon as well but I figured cheaper is better and my “lab” is outside as well.
