500 lt tank as a Processor

[Tony]

I'm thinking more and more about one of these as a reactor,
I think that putting one of jims cones on the bottom would not only increase the volume slightly but also improove the draining of the gly.
Also welding in a flat panel would let you put in three immersion heaters, two in parallel and one on it's own, that should bring it up to temp quicker.

Do you mean two in series?  In parallel that's just like having three on, IE 9kW.

Two in series would do 750W each (1500W for the pair) then one on it's own at 3kW for a total of 4500W.

I'm going to do one in the processor and one inline, for a total of 6kW.

You're right, I ment in series so the elements don't get as hot and don't crustup as much.

[Tony]

I suspect you'd really need 6kW to heat that volume of oil in a reasonable time, so eight immersion elements, four sets of two in series.

Excuse me if I scoff ... couple of weeks it was the log burner with inclusive boiler, flue and Bloody Building control at £150.00 for a guy that knew nothing about stoves!

Currently refitting kitchen and utility room.  Have you seen the price of decent ovens and hobs these days?  I could eat out each night for a year for that sort of money.  I've given Mrs. Bio Rich an old flat iron and suggested she cooks on the log burner but the idea wasn't received well.

What's wrong with the car?

[K.H]

Discs and pads

Nothing in the building game surprises me,what some customers prioritise is amazing

That's not bad if it isn't insulated too, must be like an oil filled radiator!

[K.H]

Yep,i thought that was ok

That usually takes a case of good Chilean red, but as I'll be driving, I'll leave space in the back of the Disco so you can load it while I make your condenser.

Keith when you say "Control box" do you meen just the box or a compleat prewired system.
I ask as I have a 50cm x 40cm x 30cm box sat in the garden,
got it for myself but can always get another one later as I don't need it yet.
