I wonder how fast @breaking.dabs was going on his recent 50L spd run though?

I mean the z pulsed power facility can theoretically sustain clean aneutronic fusion, so why not start selling them and building them all over the world with the promise of clean, nearly endless nuclear energy? In 2006 they were able to reach 2 billion kelvin, it was documented and witnessed. So if you can prove in a lab that a concept can be reached, then using that as a claim for sales shouldn’t be considered wrong, right?

I easily hit 2.5L an hour on summit gear.
For the record summit has been nothing but a pleasure to work with.
They make solid gear and so does AMP equipment.
Grow up who cares what these guys post in the IG and internet and get some thicker skin you Nancy boixs

5L/hr i believe he stated in the comments

He runs very efficiently, I’m curious as well
Maybe you could drop a line or two and explain it right here.
Funnier than a stranger accepting an award with you at Concentrate 2019 for Future4200.com? 
You have to create enough heat in the first place. How many kW does your rotavap bath provide? That alone will tell me the max recovery you can create and based on what you shared at the show, it doesn’t have even half the kW to do the 80L/hr. CFM, vacuum depth, control, chiller power… none of that matters if you can’t create enough vapor in the first place. The kW of heat applied to the evaporating flask is the biggest factor for recovery rate and you don’t even mention that which tells me a lot already. Take a picture of the backplate with kW rating of your rotavap then I’ll believe your claims.

2-3L/hour is definitely doable on a short path but Elliot claims 12-18L on his 50L lol. When we even talked to BD and he said 2-3L if you run it the normal way. Anyone can bump shit over and claim 12-18L but the end quality is nowhere near what you should be getting from a short path unit.

NO WAY! @Future this cat was at the Concentration convention and we accepted the award together! Community style!

Ya I’m not even gonna address the 12-18 LPH cause that’s dumb. Let’s start at 5 LPH and prove that to start…
There’s 0% chance that 12-18 LPH are happening. The 50L isn’t much wider bore then the traditional 20L so there’s not even enough vac power/wide bore/power to hit even close to those numbers

If you need actual 3 phase, like for cord and plug equipment or loads with integral controllers like your chiller (not simple motor loads) you can buy a phase converter for a 5hp load for less than 600. 5 HP Rotary Phase Converter - GP5NL Single Phase to Three Phase | Phoenix Phase Converters

I didn’t do the kw math. But you can provide zero kw on your bath and still get enough via vacuum and chilling. I mean it’s certainly easiest to get your kw from your basin. But it’s not necessary by any means.

I’ve recently been doing this for our propane and buddy we have different definitions of fun.
Vacuum depth can indeed have a significant impact on the boiling point of your solvent which in turn can modulate the needed input power to vaporize your feedstock. the lower temp it vaporizes the less energy it will take to chill the condenser to condense said vapor.

Thank you bro

If you push that hard enough the bath water will freeze. My rotavap actually turned itself off from me doong that once. It gets the kw by cooling the bath water below ambient and that can only provide so much

say what? seriously, good luck finding another open sharing website like this that doesn’t involve humans and their previous experiences with retailers. a lot more good than bad here, perspective my friend. hopefully your next post will have a little more substance than calling us assholes etc. 
This is a fairly simple thermodynamics calculation. The only hard part is estimating how the numbers translate. What are the different kW in? Vacuum? Chilling? Maybe his coils have a slightly different number that makes them more efficient, but all the other parameters matter considerably more.
