Just a little helpful tip. In using a kitchen sink for water in for a condenser, an "oiler" can be very useful. An oiler is a metal tool consisting of a semi-globe on top screwed around a thin, long metal cone with a hole in the bottom;the globe is filled with oil and the top pressed to squeeze oil out of the small hole at the end of the cone for targeted oiling. My use: I have not found hose (tubing) that fits around a faucet on one end and onto a condenser on the other. I unscrew the cone of the oiler, which fits well into a faucet, but must be held in place with good tape, or wired in place. Then I take tubing (pvc 1/4 in. outside diameter .174 inside diameter - .63cm/.31cm OR latex tubing of somewhat different sizes fit best, but are pricey at $2 a foot/30cm) and use that to attach the condenser to the oiler bottom.

Thanks Jubrail, a very handy tip.
I'm sure there's lots of conversion fittings for 2 different size tubing, but yours is universal. not as ideal but handy!
I'm sure you could make an icebox out of an eskie with an inlet and outlet, so the tap water's temperature is brought down too.

for cooling I change the techniques a bit, first I live the oiler bottom in the freezer for a while. But more importantly, I drop the oiler bottom into an automotive funnel filled with ice, then wire it up. You must live the pressure on high, however, to insure that it's getting into the oiler. I also put a small screen cage over the top of the oiler cone to keep any ice from blocking it.
