Hiya guys.
So I am looking at a steam stripping set up. As it is, I have two 50L milk can boilers to my disposal and the idea would be to create steam in one and push the steam over to the second where I have the wash to be stripped. The below picture is Pablo Picasso's understanding of how this would be set up. Elbows are square in Picasso's world, nb.
Everything in the set up would be 2 inch tri clamp components that I use in my normal pot still set up, except the thumper pipe, which would be a 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch pipe, connected via tri clamp. The thumper pipe will end about 2 cm above the bottom of the second boiler. Would this work? I would be stripping between 25-40L batches.
Shady informed about the need for an atmosphere valve to avoid implosion when steaming stops, sitting along the steam path from boiler one to boiler two. Not entirely sure what exactly that is, except that it is a valve, and not sure where it would fit in this modular set up - suggestions appreciated.
