Hello.
I’m limited to working in a tight space so I decided to go this route to heat my condensor with a pt100 and a pid.
To those that have used something like this. Have you found it better to run your thermocouple dipped in the transfer fluid or taped to the outside of the heat tape?
My thinking was that having the thermocouple in the fluid would yield a better idea of what the temperature may be at the point of exchange between the fluid and vapor at the glass. It may serve you well to have a probe on both as the external may give a ok reading at the temperature of the heat tape its self
what does compression do for the distillation path?
