Hello ghouls,
I made my own fog chiller using an idea i found on the WWW. However i have a couple of issues with it. The first obvious issue with it is the majority of the fog that goes into the inlet pipe comes back out again rather than going into the device.
I will post pictures of it in action and opened up. What i need help on is how to encourage all the fog to go into the device and not back out the inlet. Some does get through and comes out the outlet pipe but not a great amount.
This one shows the fog coming out the chiller

This is with the lid off. The section between the grate and the lid is meant to be filled with ice with the section under the grate is open space for the fog. The idea is the fog goes into the inlet pipe above the lid, and comes out just under the lid then sinks down through all the ice. Through the grate and then out the outlet pipe under the grate. (Note: the pipe in the middle is just to support the weight of the fog machine)

The first possible reason to come to mind is my fog machine is 1500w and maybe too powerful for the chiller. Other possiblity is maybe the U-bends are preventing the flow?
I would appreciate any help given as i want to have the fog on the ground effect for my halloween party. Thanks.
