Hello All
As I was distilling away the other day waiting for my still to heat up I was wondering if this idea would work.
My still is 800L and it is electric with two 7500watt elements in an oil chamber that runs through the bottom of the boiler. To heat up 800L takes about 7 hours...
I was thinking that if I heat up 200L or so I can get that boiling and then pump my mash in through a cip port above the packed column at a slow rate, the liquid would heat up as it travels through the raschig rings and would fall into the boiler at a temp around 98*c or so .
my theory is that it would speed up the heating time of the liquid relative to the speed of the pump and incoming volume not dropping the temperature too much in the boiler.
In my head it sounds like a continuous still set up but I don't think it would work efficiently, I do not know.
Any feedback is appreciated,
Cheers
