Graham Condenser over Leibig for 4" pot still column
Posted: Tue Jun 28, 2016 6:17 am
So bare with me for a second as I only have this in my head. I am wanting to attach this to a 26 gallon boiler with dual 5500 watt elements. I am thinking a 4 inch column 18 inches tall. Then a 90* bend then 4 inches of straight 4 inch tube with a cap on the end. At the end of the tub, have a 1" pipe coming straight down in to a graham condenser about 12 inches long with a 4 inch jacket on the outside. Then have the output of the graham condenser go in to a 36" leibig condenser with 1 inch inner inside 1.5 inch outer. The water would come in to the bottom of the leibig...out the top....then in to the bottom of the graham and out the top to a drain somewhere. So basically using the graham as a "pre-condenser" of sorts. The reason I am thinking of this idea instead of a shotgun condenser is ease of manufacture basically. Anyone have any thoughts on this idea or criticisms?
