This technique is now being used to heat thermal stores when the solar powered ImmerSuns are over supplying. I have used the 10mm version of this as a heat exchanger, pumped from one tank to a other once the DHWT reached the set temperature. It really amazed me how efficient it was.
Tell me about it! The first one was just trail and error and we fixed it as we went along. Made so many mistakes and messed up a lot of copper coil before we got it right, but since then I have made a lot of good coils. Just keep on trying. Cheers.
Angle iron frame, a piece of unistrut, an old boat winch, removable idle end bearing tail stock.., brilliant! I can only hope that there is a market for reflux condensers for you guys.
Hi Michael. I use them in the still columns I make and only make about 15-16 a month. www.distiller.co.nz . I do not sell the coils and only make them for my own use. Copper tube is very expensive in NZ. ¼ Inch tube is around $8/metre . Cheers.
Very nice, I did something similar al little bigger to cool down the beer after the boiling process, and I just inmerse the coil in the wasshing machine loaded woth water, no transfer between the beer and the water later I use the same water to just wash the laundry. Useful idea.
Sounds great! I have built a coiler to make the coils you are talking about (wort chillers). Please see this video - th-cam.com/video/mpbIcV4tF-w/w-d-xo.html
Baie dankie Louwrens hierdie help baie! Waneer maak jy n video van jou badger produkte? Ek dink dit is die moeite werd om daai mooi instrumente te wys.
Weet jy wat? Dis 'n briljante idee! Ek het nog nooit daaraan gedink nie. Voel eintlik half soos 'n po@pol dat ek nie self daaraan gedink het nie. BAIE DANKIE vir jou puik voorstel ek gaan net volgende week werk maak daarvan. Dit sal my ook baie help met my promosies. Jy is kookwater! Baie dankie my maat. Louwrens
Hi Lourens, can u please contact me in regarding the making of the copper condenser coil u guys made, would know if u would sell me one please as i tried numerous of time to make one and it all failed.
Unfortunately I do not sell these coils as I can barely make them fast enough for my own use. I am always a few coils short. Do you live near Hamilton? Cheers. Louwrens
It is 3 meters of 1/4 inch soft refrigeration copper tube. I get mine from air conditioning and refrigeration companies as end of roll or off cut pieces. You can also buy rolls on eBay and Amazon. If you are in New Zealand you can buy copper tube by the metre on Trademe for about NZ $8/metre. In Hamilton and Tauranga you can also buy copper tube by the metre from Wholesale & Industrial Supplies Ltd. Cheers.
Looks really tidy. I'm in the middle of making a 2 inch still but have been having much trouble with the condenser coil since it has to be so tight. I'm in Hamilton and happy to square you up for your time if you could help me with the coiling.
+Luke Lovegrove Hi Luke, Will gladly help you with the coil. I am going to Auckland around 10-11am today ,but if you contact me before that I will give you a early Christmas box! Cheers Louwrens.
@@nagyjanos7625 I can not tell you HOW GLAD I am!! I always feel terrible when viewers write to me to tell me that they can not get the salt out and wasted a good piece of copper tubing. Thank you SO much for letting me know. Happy distilling. :)
I did use salt for a bifilar-wound cooling coil and you're right; it takes ages to get the salt out. The coil ended up in the bath being filled with hot water, shaken, drained over and over til clear. If I'd thought about it, I'd have put a thin plastic tube in the hot tap and fed it up the pipe.
Getting the salt out is a NIGHTMARE! I now only fill about half of the 3 metre tube with salt and it still takes a while to get the salt out. Sometimes I also have to do the warm water and bath routine like you. I have tried to fill the tubes with paraffin wax and it works like a charm, but filling and removing the hot wax is a big mess if you do 10-15 coils at a time like I do. Cheers.
That is true, but the water doesn't support the sides of the tube like salt does. Salt gives much more support and keeps the tube from going oval. Cheers.

Baie Dankie Louwrens - wish you were here in SA - busy trying to make a still to produce alcohol to make tinctures and hopefully run our modified farm car - thanks alot - don't you miss SA ?
Thanks for your comment. Not a day goes by where I do not think of our beautiful country and my family in SA. There is no country like SA, but New Zealand has been such a wonderful place for us to bring up our children and enjoy life without fear and intimidation. Keep up the good work en good luck with your still.

Great machine, very ingenious! Can you share the dimensions of the inner pipe and the outer one?
The inner one is 16mm and the outer one is 32mm. Hope this helps. Cheers/
You all are smart, good thinking thanks for your creative idea.
Thank you so much. Cheers.
Молодцы парни, руки растут откуда положено! Like!
Thank you. Cheers
Very innovative design for bendind/coiling Copper cubical pipes. Good job.👌👍
Thank you for your kind remark. The coiler was invented out of desperation! :) :) . Cheers.
Water filled and not frozen water ??? Thanks
Half of the copper tube for the coil in this video was filled with salt and not water. The half the small inner coil was coiled from. Cheers.
@@LouwrensvanderMerwe Craftsman are able to do wonders with copper. The computer young ones just do not understand. Peace VF
An excellent and elegant solution. I wish I had the machine you are using!
Привет, отличное решение.
Первый аппарат то же весь сделал в ручную, теперь делаю в подарок друзьям. Удачи в вашем хобби.
Great. Would love to see a few pictures or a video of your coiler. Maybe I can improve mine. Thanks for your feedback.
Learned a lot just now. Thank you. The Crafty Always Survive. Nice job.
Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers
Damn. That's a slick set up. I'm glad you posted it. Gives a guy a few ideas.. lol
Great job.
Cheers
Thank you very much! In this video you can see the "motorised" version of this coiler - th-cam.com/video/1HgkK0GLwZY/w-d-xo.html
А для чего эта прелада (изобретение)?? Какой эффект от неё?
I make these coils for the Boka Alcohol still columns I make - See this video please - th-cam.com/video/1LMT-S7UGzo/w-d-xo.html

what is in the tube , that it dont collapse??
Half of the tube is filled with salt (the half the small inner coil was coiled from). Cheers.
Це теплообмінник?
Yes, it is. Used as a condenser coil for a Boka reflux column. Cheers.
That is flippin' awesome!

was wondering what you would charge to send me a coil?
Hi Robert. Whereabouts do you live? In New Zealand? Thanks.
The tube is 6mm ou 10mm?
Is the tube 6mm or 10mm?
It is 6mm. To be precise it is 1/4 inch (6.35mm). Cheers.

An outstanding idea for the DIY still
Thank you sir. Happy distilling! Cheers
Nice job , very difficult to wound such a small double coil , thanks for uploading and keep on brewing , thanks for the coil you send me , cheers :-)
Thanks Dan. The coil is not a match for the beautiful parrot you gave me! Be good!

Hi Dan, it is between 3.1 metres and 3.2 metres. Cheers.
Post where you can purchase these coils.

Sir , loved you video, is there any chance I could purchase one from you if so how much.
Thanks
@@kylemaynard6769 I am so sorry, but I do not sell these coils as I can not make them fast enough for my own use. Cheers.
Ever thought of the frozen water line technique for this small Dia of copper to mold without chance of a crimp I'm the copper?
They say the frozen water methods works, but I have never tried it.

I need to remember that the next time my soup is too hot.
I need help, I can't remove the salt from the tube.
Just keep it connected to the water, the salt will eventually come out. It might take a hour or so. Cheers.
@@LouwrensvanderMerweIt was 30 hours but it did. thanks

Yes, it is a coil for a 2" moonshine still column. Cheers.
how wide is the final coil?
+RippoZer0 The final coil is 44 mm wide and 150 mm in length from the top coil to the bottom coil. Cheers.
Pretty slick.
Thank you very much. Cheers. Louwrens
If you would have filled the tube with water ad sealed the ends, you would not have to wash out salt.
That is true, but the water doesn't support the sides of the tube like salt does. Salt gives much more support and keeps the tube from going oval. Cheers.
@@LouwrensvanderMerwe When you fill the tube with water, Pressurize it a little by hammering down the ends a little, and there should be no problems,
Nice work
Thank you very much!
Very nice sir
Thank you sir. Much appreciated. Cheers.
Да, кабы не медь то таки, с сабжене было бы ну очень плохо, золотой материал, в знающих руках, а змеевик просто чудо, в их исполнении.!!!😂
Totally agree with you. It is amazing that you can fit 3 metres of copper tube in such a small space.
Brilliant 👍
