Hi Everyone!
I've been reading the forums and seen bits and pieces noting there's a possibility of getting a small boost in reflux by increasing the height and width of your condenser if you do it right.
My setup is a T500 copper condenser and I was wondering your thoughts on adding a 2" thread (for lid) to 4" tri-clover converter, then two or three 4" sight glasses with bubble caps, then 4" to 2" converter...or separately just a 2" to 4" converter with 4" packed copper pipe, then back down to 2" to attach to the condenser. Picture attached for visual concept.
I've been looking for hours and haven't been able to find any other threads on this specifically and google has not been helpful, most likely because I have no idea what terms to search for specifically.
Any thoughts and advice on either or both ideas would be appreciated because even a negligible increase of percentage output would be cool, however if there's a major risk of reduced output then I should know that too.
I think it'd be a fun project for some benefit but I don't want to invest that money, time and effort into something that would do worse 8-} .
