Discarded propane tank with valve removed, washed several times to remove residue.
The coil is a water cooled condenser which I salvaged from a discarded soft ice cream machine, inside there are two separate coils one for refrigerant the other of course water used to cool the refrigerant.
For the time being I'm going to try it as an air cooled condenser, if this does not work then I'll hook up the garden hose to that second coil to keep it cool. The refrigerant coil has copper fins on the outside to assist with heat exchange.
Propane tank is being heated with a tiger torch, once it comes up to temperature I will cut back on the heat so that I'm not generating more steam than the coil is able to handle otherwise I could have a nasty explosion.
