extractor

A Soxhlet extractor is a piece of laboratory apparatus
invented in 1879 by Franz von Soxhlet. It was originally designed for the extraction of a lipid from a solid material. Typically, Soxhlet extraction is used when the desired compound has a limited solubility in a solvent, and the impurity is insoluble in that solvent. It allows for unmonitored and unmanaged operation while efficiently recycling a small amount of solvent to dissolve a larger amount of material.

    Inconsistency in logic for extractor condensate

    One of the reasons I have seen for not routing the condensate from an extractor fan outlet into the soil stack (at a point above all sinks/toilets/etc that drain into the stack) is that smells would come from the stack into the room containing the extractor fan. I can see the logic in this but...

    Extractor fan for oven?

    I don't know if plumbing include extractor fans, but I was hoping that you could point me in the right direction as to whether self enclose ovens existed so that all of their smoke was funnelled outside, like an top extractor fan, only for oven as they smoke the house out. Thanks!
