Hi Guys,
Just planning my first bubbler build, planning to make a 4" bubble column, running on gas with a good quality high output burner, 50-70l wash pot.
Have looked around in the forum and haven't found a simple answer to the following question: Is there a minimum gap required between plates or am I limited only by the depth of liquid I want to bubble through?
Say I have a 200mm long column with four plates in it, that gives me about 40mm between plates, and if the down tubes start at 10mm above each plate, that gives a vapour gap of about 30mm. Will the plates still load? trying to keep the height as short as possible so that I have plenty of room for a carter head..
Cheers,
Gaffa.
