Essential Oil Distillation (no music)
Happy New Year everyone! Here is a rerelease of the essential oil video. Working on a new one around lemon oil extraction that will be coming up soon. I use lemon peel usually and it produces some great oil for all sorts of applications.
I really appreciate your comments, hence this edited version without distracting music.
Yes, the tubes circulating water into the condenser are reversed. I often experiment with running constant cold water at the top of the condenser rather than at the bottom. However, yes traditionally the input valve is at the base of the condenser while the output valve is at the top. Nonetheless, I got some nice oil when extracting this batch.
Always learning, always experimenting.

  • @zillionz
    @zillionz ปีที่แล้ว

    The condenser column set up incorrectly... the water is supposed to enter from the bottom and exit from the top... that way, the whole condenser fills with cold water which provides the maximum cooling efficiency of the column.

  • @Srelus
    @Srelus ปีที่แล้ว

    Water should always flow in from the bottom of the cooler (the end closest to the flask) and flow out from the top of the condenser. Doing it this way always guarantees that your condenser will be filled with cooling water. If you set it the other way around, and if for some reason the speed of the water flow into the condenser decreases and becomes slower than the speed of the water leaving the condenser, the condenser will not remain filled with water. If the reaction were unattended, this could cause problems.
