Condenser and Evaporative Chiller for Sale - $8000

Below are pictures of two pieces that we used together at our distillery with a 500 gallon pot still.

The condenser was designed and built by us about three years ago.  This unit has 52 copper ½” condensation pipes enclosed in a stainless jacket that is approx. 52 inches tall and 17 inches across.

It is mounted on a rolling table with a foot pump that allows the condenser to be raised high enough for the parrot to empty into a standard 275 gallon tote.  The parrot connects under the table top with a 2” tri-clover and a quick release pin.  When used with the evaporative chiller, spirit run production was approximately 33 gallons per hour.  We used a 4” swan arm coming out of the still.

The evaporative chiller removes 150,000 BTUs per hour with a water loss rate a fraction of one percent for each cycle.  We hooked the chiller up to the condenser with flexible PVC pipe (included) and solid PVC pipe.  This chiller, when run without heat applied to the condenser cooled the water to about 12 degrees F below ambient.  When running the still wide open, the cooling water exited the condenser at a consistent 30 degrees C. The chiller was purchased about three years ago from CTS.

Between the two units, we have about $15K invested in parts.
