It saves hundreds of litres of water while also being easy to use and effective for cooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eInstead of water, it uses forced air to pull heat out of the vapour and liquid. It connects to any 2\" tri-clamp setup and works seamlessly with CREATE+ components, so you can use it as a direct swap for a water-cooled condenser. It can be set up for both reflux and pot designs, so it suits whichever way you like to run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHow it works:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eVapour and liquid travel through two internal tubes surrounded by aluminium fins. The fins soak up the heat and three built-in fans blow it away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA single control dial sets the fan speed. Turn it up for more cooling, down for less. It’s the same idea as adjusting water flow on a traditional condenser, just quicker and with nothing to plumb in. These condensers can be used as a reflux condenser, lyne arm or product condenser depending on the setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVORTEX Air Cooled Condenser Module\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniversal power supply (AU\/NZ, US\/CA, UK, EU)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstruction booklet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGaskets and tri-clamps are sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: H 16.1 cm x W 13.3 cm x D 60 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 2.2 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMounting on a Still Spirits Boiler Lid or Alembic Dome:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Still Spirits Boiler Lid and Alembic Dome are designed for small to medium setups without heavy, off-centre attachments.
