Short dual tube calicum reactor

Just finished a "custom" dual calicum reactor. The flow is from bottom to top and will use a mag 2 pump for recirculation.

The recirculation of the gas is taken from the top/bottom of the lid and the water going out is taken from about 1" below this gas area. Then on to the second chamber, bottom to top and then out to the tank.

Kewl, let us know how it performs

have you ever done a chamber within a chamber? is that what this is? or are we just seeing one of the chambers.

something like a 3" tube inside a 6" tube. just another idea.

Have not tried a chamber in a chamber. How would that function? Hmmm flow fom the center tube up from the bottom then down the outer one? Interesting - could use 4" in the inside and 6" for the outer one. How would you recirculate the CO2 and contain it in the reactor?

This is just a dual chamber with the tubes seperate from one another, reverse flow. On the third photo, I was trying to show that the water going out is being taken below the lid area - so there is less CO2 getting out of the main chamber.
