AD searchI have a 4" bubble plate still and have found I can't run it any faster than 3600w. I just start flooding the column. Am I maxing out my column?
I'm trying to reflux it more so I can get a higher abv but also a higher liters per minutes.

Try easing back on the cooling water, to reduce the flooding.
How many plates are you using and what are you trying to run?

4 plates
tffv or feints run.
Was trying to get a higher abv than 92% but just starts flooding. If I let it out a bit faster I start getting a lower abv.

92% is about right for 4 plates unless you run it really really slow
