Condenser

The condenser of the machine has the responsibility of separating the methanol from the oxygen by leveraging their differing condensation points. After the reaction in the catalytic chamber, the mixture of O₂ and CH₃OH vapor flows into the condenser, which is cooled using a circulating coolant. As the temperature drops, methanol condenses into a liquid at around 64.7 degrees Celsius, while oxygen remains a gas at this temperature. The liquid methanol is collected in a storage tank for later use (this storage tank is placed underground), while the oxygen gas is directed to the compressor for filtration and storage. Condensation is a crucial step for ensuring the purity of the oxygen and methanol outputs.
