At last I have the hobs next to the sink. I've made a couple of air cooled condensers and they've worked well, though have limited heat rejection ability. Having the hob turned up too heigh filled the room with alcohol vapor. Kinda fun but not too usefull... Good results when used on half power though!
Anyhow, I'm intending to make a tube in tube condenser and run cold water through it. The question is simple, assuming a fairly good flow of water, how long would you suggest the condenser should be? It will have to get rid of most of the heat from a hob on full and the inner pipe will be made of 15mm copper pipe. I'm thinking a meter should do it. Longer would be hassel as it would get too close to the celing or hang over the side of the cooker.
Cheers all

Okay looking at making my own still,just cause I think that's the way it should be, I have a 'cool can' and think it would make an excellent condenser. With a 5 gal. bucket or so of water and an aquarium pump to keep good water in it. Here is a link to what the 'cool can' is. http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=2716&prmenbr=361 Also have a full size keg that I would like to use, but it's aluminum, from all that I have seen this is a bad idea. Correct?
