shotgun condenser in LM/boka
Posted: Mon Mar 06, 2023 2:59 pm
Hello,
Most reflux design like boka or LM uses a coil condenser to reflux all vapors.
The top of the column is "open" (not sealed/airtight)
I was wondering: why not use a "shotgun" condenser like (see image below)?
Would it be less efficient or is there any cons (excepted the longer size)?
I only see this kind condenser in CM reflux column.
My apologies if the topic has already been covered in another topic!
