Tom's Foolery Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherman Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Sherman. Shounds like it should take about an hour (with the proper HP). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
