Hey All,
I'm all ready tomorrows spirit run. Already stripped 200L Wheatbix wash in the 100L boiler.
Tomorrow while I run 5 plates and 500mm packed section I'll be contemplating how high I could have the column. At the moment I'm running 2 x 2400 watt elements with no power controller so it is only running 2 at full capacity or 1 at full capacity and using the RC to control distillate flow from the parrot.
Is there a theoretical height limit to running this still? Having recently increased the height of the shed I could go to 5 plates and 2 x 500mm packed section but I'm not sure if I have enough power to get this high.
I could try, but I'm hoping someone else smarter than I may have already worked this out.
