The provided diagram delineates the intricate process involved in utilizing essential oils within a perfumery manufacturing system to create perfume.
Overall, the production process encompasses four distinct stages, commencing with the initial step of heating input water and culminating in the extraction of refined hydrolat.
The production of perfume begins with the positioning of a water container over a direct heat source, typically fueled by fire. As the water reaches boiling point, it generates hot steam, which is subsequently channeled into a second container via an extraction tube. At this juncture, the steam serves a dual purpose: elevating the temperature of aromatic plants and prompting the extraction of essential oils from these materials. The resultant mixture of steam and oil vapor is contained within the apparatus, where the oils are vaporized.
Following this, the vaporized oil undergoes transportation to a condenser cell, where it undergoes condensation and is then conveyed through a coiled tube. Concurrently, a controlled supply of both hot and cold water is introduced to either end of the condenser cell, facilitating the crucial condensation process.
In the final stage of the process, the condensed mixture of water and essential oil is directed to a separator, where the oil is meticulously filtered from the hydrolat. This process ultimately enables the extraction of hydrolat, also referred to as aromatic water, via a separate extraction tube.
