We've run the Mk III as high as 200F when extracting low grade trim for topicals. What that does is increase pot pressure.

Ignoring volumetric efficiency, when the intake of the pump is at atmospheric pressure, a fixed displacement pump discharges one cylinder volume each stroke.

Atmospheric pressure is about 14.7 psi and since P1/P2=V1/V2, if the intake pressure is 14.7 psi above atmospheric pressure, each stroke of the pump puts out two volumes per stroke. At 29.4 psi, it puts out three volumes..........

When running crude, we can recover over a pound of butane a minute because we run the water in all of our jackets at 160f. When doing cold runs, recovery is slowed down because we run the jackets at 90f. The hotter the fluid that you pass through your jackets, the faster you will recover.

How long is that 1/2" condensing coil? Mind sharing where you bought it?

25' from xtractor depot.

I run crude for distillation so I am not worried about overheating it. By backfilling with nitrogen and vacuuming at a high temp, I can degas my crude and put it straight into a flask to distill before winterizing and scrubbing it. Doing it this way gives you less volume to refine, decreases the amount of ethanol needed to winterize, and increases ethanol recovery time because of the lack of terpenes in your solution.

Would it be okay to run 2 CMEP-OL's daisy chained together?

You could but it would not be as efficient as running them parallel.

I would run in parallel, not in series and it will work fine.
