EB120 Advanced Ethanol Boiler 6
Beer, Water, and Steam connections
a. The water supply pipe and steam pipe should comply with local standards.
b. Connect the cooling water inlet of the EB120 to the main water supply using a flexible hose with
3/4-inch fittings. Washing machine connection hoses are perfect for these connections, as they are
made to withstand high pressure without bursting. We recommend braided stainless steel washing
machine hoses, available at your local building supply store.
c. Connect the Cooling Water Out to the water input of the distillation. These connections should also
be made with either rigid copper pipe (at least ½ dia), or flexible washing machine hoses.
d. Steam outlet (3/4 inch) use the same dimension Stainless Steel or Copper pipe to connect to the
Distillation Column. During use the steam pipe will be very hot and must be protected against
accidental contact. Note that according to the location it may be necessary to attach an additional
length of pipe to the pressure relief valve in order to divert the steam flow to a safe direction should
the valve operate.
e. Connect the drain outlet to a suitable drain via a copper pipe with the appropriate fittings.
Installation of controller and temperature probe.
EB-A controller is waterproof and can be installed anywhere within close proximity of the distillation
system.
(1) Ideally the control panel should be installed at a height of approximately 5 for ease of use.
(2) Installation method: drill a 1.5 (40mm) hole on mounting surface. Open the front cover of steam
EB120 and connect the control cable (6 pin) and temperature sensor cable (2 pin) to the relevant
ports.
(3) Control panel installation: connect one end of the control cable to circuit board port in the boiler, and
connect the other end to the controller.
(4) Temperature probe installation: the temperature probe is installed into the distillation column at the
control temperature point. This varies according to the size and type of still being used. This probe
would be installed in the location normally used for a dial thermometer. The temperature probe has
½
male FIP fittings.
