nobel prize winning still

Postby googe » Sat Dec 08, 2012 6:51 pm

Hey all, what do you think of this?. Having a column then Refux, another column, then reflux again. Trick would be getting the vapors into the second column without loosing equilibrium. I have tried finding equilibrium compression sizes but came up with 0 . So would need study on what pace is needed for vapors compression in r elation to column length ect.

it may be possible if the columns were glass that way you could see what is going on inside.
Ultimately i recon it would be a prick to tune having a condenser in middle, you will be constantly adjusting water flow in both condensers and going around in circles. :angry-banghead:
Top marks for thinking tho, keep the ideas coming. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Almost googe think 2 separate columns plumbed from the to of the lead column to the base of the second column. Probably shouldn't say this on here coz I've always acted dumb when asked this but... this is also kinda how to make a continuous reflux still ;-)

Don't fucken dare me, I'll build it :teasing-neener: . Ok, first column is equalized, first reflux releases vapors into second column. Second column is equalized then sent to product condenser.

Once your first column equalises, then you send vapour to the second part, as soon as that condenses and runs back past your first condenser whats it there doing? :think:

Hmmm, could the first reflux be shut down completely after it's passed to the second and wait for the complete columns to equalize then do.the takoff.

So what would be the point of the first one then? :think:

First distillation, then second?. Don't really know, just winging it with ideas.
