Brendan wrote:Here's some observations from the run...was slightly confusing after hearing other feedback on here for a few reasons....
1) Boiler power...I got it up to temp on 4800W, backed it off to about 3600W and once the plates were loaded, they seemed very "high". Higher than I had expected from seeing other's videos anyway. I mean it wasn't flooding up to the next plate, but it was foaming well over the DC and the cup as well. I started backing off the power to see how far down I could go...have heard a few say that theirs would drop out at 2400W but only need a little bit more...well put it to 2600W and was still fairly charging, so turned off an element just to see what it would do and it worked fine...about how i expected all the plates to look...so I pretty much did the whole run comfortably at 2400W. :think:
2) Also, my 130mm high 3" RC with 4x 1" vapour tubes is meant to be overly sufficient for the rig according to everyone's feedback, however....with fairly cool cooling water, I had to back the boiler power back below 3000W before I could achieve full reflux....with the pump throwing everything through the RC, and boiler above 3000W, I was getting a trickle out of the output :? So it was about 2900W before I could leave it sitting in full reflux without any output coming out... :think: (Maybe that's good I don't know, but seemed different to what I was expecting...)
