Distillation techniques:
3 The history off
the cooling system:
The cooling system was developped
in different stadia, not always in a logical way, since nature was used as
a exemple for the different devices...depending on some believe systems...
;-)
Some very extravagant systems were developped...
Some old illustrations show the evolution of the techniques:
"Modern" cooling systems (end of the 19 th Century)
Cooling systems of two Hydro diffusion alembics: the steam comes from above and is cooled through the rectangular tubes (cold water passes through the tubes)
Classic cooling systems.
Cooling systems for small lab or home distillation alembics..
