Reflux from this design?

Post by winelegs »

Had a little look around and the search terminology is not showing up anything.

SS pot still, doesn't matter the size, from 15l to 40l, with a diameter copper column of around 2-3 inches and 2 to 5 feet in height. Now instead of packing it with copper scrubbing material, what about creating out of 8mm (5/16) tubing a honey-like structure going from a few inches 2 or 3 times or a longer section of a foot up the middle of the column?

The theory is it will create lots of columns with narrow passages for more interaction between the up and the down vapours. Yes, it will give a path and wall descent but I would say more than copper scrubbing, which possibly leads to it dripping for the lowest point anyway?

Just trying to give something back to the wealth of knowledge I have soaked up.

Kind regards
