Hey guys,
in my laboratory tests (SPD, Spinning band etc.) i often recognized that cannabis extracts respectively the cannabinoids are very sensitive to parts of a technical system such as pipelines (while distillation) which are not heated or isolated enough.
In my long spinning band distillation column for example, which is now heated by a heating tape (200°C) i get the extract/oil into the vapor phase. Without the heating tape it was not possible to get the oil into vapor phase.
After the column of my spinnind band system there is a midsection, which is not heated but vacuum isolated and silver coated. In the midsection i have a vapor temperature measuring unit. In the midsection the vapor temperature is at 70, 80°C. But from the heated column the steam keeps coming and coming. I think the hot vapor from the heated column will condense at the unheated midsection.
Thats because the vapor temperature is at 70°C not 160 - 180°C?
Do you have any expierience how important isolated and heated parts of technical installations are, to prevent a crash of vapor temperature?
Thank you for your help.
