Re: side by side columns
I think you've ironed out all the little issues with regards to the drains and the mini rc on the plates is great. Like you said plates are easy to keep loaded.

Hey Jed, this looks great. Any more picks? Let's see that shared PC!
Re: side by side columns
Very nice jed. Windy city that is an amazing build and you answered a question I have been pondering if 4x plates 25mm depth is = less or more then a 100mm pipe of same diameter full water.
I was thinking it would be less due to air gap. Glad I know now its not.
How does it effect things with a multiple cap plate? Does it further increase pressure guessing it does and I need to calculate total open area of all risers when designing my vapour lock for under packed section. I plan to use a single big cap with deep bath for the vapour lock. It will also double as an emergency blow off if a plate blocks.

You only need to measure your max liquid depth on each plate and add them together. The diameter will not matter.
As far as a log, I have a ton of pics from the build but did not do a log on the forum.
