I've got a 27 gallon conical in a refrigerated box I built for it. When I go to crash cool it, it sucks up whatever liquid was in the airlock. I built this to combat that.
CO2 comes down the hose, into the 1st jar, up the pipe, then down the pipe of the 2nd jar, bubbling up and out.
When I start cooling and everything contracts or I dump trub off the bottom of the conical, it sucks water from the 2nd jar back into the 1st, putting sanitary CO2 back into the conical rather than unfiltered air, or worse, a bunch of sanitizer.
The water level in the 2nd jar is low enough that if it sucks over all the liquid, it won't reach the connection for the hose, so it will just bubble air at that point.
When dumping trub, it sucks water back, but the pressure of the incoming CO2 pushes it all back over into the 2nd jar, resetting itself. Thought maybe someone else might appreciate it.
