perfection Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Is their a technical name for those port hole type windows that one sees alongside the running length of the analyser and rectifier columns of a continuous still? Are they optional to the design of a still and what benefits do they serve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silk City Distillers Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Sight glass. To be able to view plate action. Spend enough time watching a still and you can easily notice something being upset in the typical column behavior. Plus, they look cool. Most stills could get by with half as many, or 1/3rd as many.

Really no reason to have one every plate. they do look cool tho and it does give one a sense of connection to the workings and helps train the new guy. Once you know the still tho, you almost never need the majority of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
