Heating time


Tom's Foolery

Recommended Posts

How long should it take to heat a 200-gallon stripping still from room temperature to the start of the distillation run? I know there are lots of varibles, such as product being distilled, type of still, etc., but a general range would be helpful.

Thanks,

Tom

a 10HP boiler will do it in an hour given a 75% efficiency.

8.34 btu/gallon/degree f * 200 gallons * 137 degrees = 228516 btu or about 7hp /75% = about 10 hp for an hour.

Thank you Sherman. Shounds like it should take about an hour (with the proper HP).
