Alcoengine Reflux Column
Posted: Mon Oct 20, 2025 8:57 pm
Hi guys
To those of you if any who have the Alcoengine Reflux Column, what collecting speed do you achieve? The manual says 1.2L per hour, but I'm getting ~1/4 of this speed. It goes drip .... drip ... drip and it takes forever.
I'm using a circulating pump, which is with adequate debit, but it doesn't matter if I even connect to the mains and run at full speed, which is much ore than the minimum recommended of 8L/h.
Changing the nozzles doesn't change anything - same speed. I also played with a voltage regulator. Again, nothing changes if it is at 100% or 60%-70%
The alcohol comes at ~92%-93%, which is within range, but way too slow.
It is mounted on top of T500 boiler.
