New ShotGun Condenser Design
![Post Post](./styles/proFormell/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
This idea is a future modification of my 5 plate bubbler that EG has made ... maybe ... I think I had a bit of a brain fart last night, I was thinking about the traditional "Shot Gun Condenser" and I believe that a lot of the vapour would pass through the middle of each tube untouched to be condensed on the elbow above ... where I came up with this idea, it may have been done before, I don't know, but by rotating the top plate approx 45 Deg or more "Twist the top" the tubes would be set at an angle and thus all of the vapour would flow up against the edge of the tubes to be cooled by the water flowing around them. As shown Below
Sorry guys was playing with "Maya" and was unsure how to cut the tubes at the top and bottom plate levels lol, but I think it gives the general concept of what I mean! :-D
I would think that this would greatly improve the cooling of the vapours at this point and better refluxing ... maybe requiring less water flow?
Using this idea you could have 2 rings of tubes ... inner and outer using thinner tubes etc ... What does everyone think?
