Humongus chimney!


World's Biggest Condenser
Originally uploaded by setyr.
The chimney (one in the pic) is about 100 feet tall, made of pure iron. Why iron? because it is a good heat conductor. In this chimeny vaporized liquid is melted or condensed back to its liquid form. The huge condenser is filled with ice cold water to do the trick! But below this are massive coals to produce heat. Now, I'm getting scientific, ahh how time flies so fast, I can hardly remember my chemistry days in high school.
