Whats good everyone, I have a couple questions about reflux columns that ive looked for but havent found any answer for so please bare with me.
1) Ive seen people that have 4 bubble plates and people with more and a lot more. What does having more than 4 accomplish? It seems like 4 is the standard from all my reading and images ive seen. Just trying to figure out the advantages and disadvantages of having more. ( I know that putting them thru more sections produces a higher proof distillate) but where is the point of diminishing returns?
2) I know that the 4 inch columns can run about a gallon an hour and the 6 inch columns can run i think 1.8 per hour if ran optimally, but does the 6 inch column need to be heated more? Like do I need some very strong heating elements? 3k vs 4k vs 5.5k? the boiler im getting is comes with 2 element inlets. Thanks guys and gals for all the help, these questions have been really stumping me.
