Hey gents,
I am currently running off mains and would like to conserve as much water as possible, water pricing isn't the issue but for me water use is.
I will convert to recirc when I move houses.
The set-up I am aiming to run with rotameters are as follows :
50L boiler adjustable 2400w element
4" 4 plate glass bubbler
200mm long 4" stainless RC with 9 x 1/2 tubes
500mm long 2" stainless PC with 5 x 1/2 tubes
I am chasing some rough figures for RC and PC flow on stainless 4" and 2" condensers respectively for my new build.
Have done a search and nothing too specific comes up, as per "Advice on running 5 plate glass bubbler" bigadz runs under 1LPM on his 200mm 4" RC to achieve distillate but can't find too much other information.
I am wondering about PC flow as well, would rather not run it flat out if possible and run the correct size rotameters.
I have a 0-200cc/ml rotameter for the RC which I think may be a tiny bit too small.
I was thinking a 0-2LPM rotameter for the PC may be adequate.
I know the best option would be to just have a crack, but wondering if we could put some experiences up for myself and the next bloke.
Cheers Locky
