Reflux still design and discussion

HELP!

Postby LikkerSheWillLoveIt » Sat Mar 13, 2021 5:16 am

I’m doing a spirit run on 3 stripped TPW’s in my inverted cone Boka.

First time with stripped wash and I was running at full noise and I flooded my column. This was during the reflux stage, I had not taken off any product.

The condenser was knocking everything down, but too much vapour going up, to let the reflux go back down.

I lowered the power and all is good, so I’m going to let it reflux for 30 minutes and then start my run.

Is that ok? Or is it smeared and turn it off, clean down and start again?

All good. I just packed the comping way too tight. I flooded a 1300mm 2 inch column. I’m impressed

Glad you got it sorted, if you havent taken any product off just let it reflux longer and it will seperate :handgestures-thumbupleft:
