It does the job of a water-cooled condenser or dephlegmator with no cooling water at all, so you can distil wherever there's a power point — no garden hose, no tap adaptor, no sink.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStill Spirits rates it at the same speed, output and quality as a traditional water-cooled T500 or Alembic setup. It drops straight into any 2\" tri-clamp configuration, including the Create+ range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVapour or liquid runs through two internal tubes wrapped in aluminium fins. The fins pull the heat out, and three built-in fans blow it away. Turning the dial changes fan speed, which changes how hard the unit cools — the same job the tap does on a water-cooled condenser, without the hose, the tap adaptor or the hundreds of litres of water going down the drain each run.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs the product condenser on a pot still or alembic setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs a dephlegmator (reflux condenser) on a 2\" column\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAny still with 2\" tri-clamp connections, including Create+ components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat you need to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTri-clamps and gaskets are \u003cstrong\u003enot included\u003c\/strong\u003e — get the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/distilleryking.com.au\/products\/still-spirits-vortex-air-cooled-condenser-tri-clamps-gaskets\"\u003eVORTEX with Tri-Clamps \u0026amp; Gaskets\u003c\/a\u003e if you don't already have spares\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeeds mains power for the fans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approx. 2.5 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilding a full still?
