Liquid management Unit mini 4-inch for still Reflux / distiller tri-clamp @ eBay
@needmorstuff, oh I don't think there is anything appreciable to be gained with batch distillation.
I was merely commenting that an LM styled product collection on a plated column would work.

Modifying a 4" tee would be cheaper no? Land the center of a take off / draw port right at the very top of the bubble cap elevation and put a trap on the draw.
Very similar to this:

Trouble is I have zero modding skills. If I can buy it at a reasonable price then that's my preferred option.
Graham condensor a must I think or cross flow - when you say crossflow - it that the Thors Hammer type arrangement?
I think it is, if so that would be perfect with my limited ceiling height.
I'm still not decided though, am I trying to solve a problem with LM that doesn't even exist? heck I'm not even in the building yet and the water supply might be fed from a 100,000 litre tank somewhere with zero chance of having supply/pressure/flow issues.
I do think the perceived precision of LM is enticing though.
Cross flow meaning that LM collects product as a liquid.
Therefore the HX is oriented horizontally rather than vertically in order to give the distillate enough dwell time in the HX to adequately cool.

Hi fellows, the 16 plate Crystal Dragon is still going strong even after 8 years??? I also ran something similar to what is being discussed, back then I called it the Dash Frac which enabled me to collect from any of 6 plates by placing a collection cup under each plate and out of the side of the bubble T sections. I'll look around and see what I find in my notes .
An experiment with CM/LM and a DASH-2
Simply, wow!
One mod I did was the return to boiler, instead of returning below the fluid level at the boiler, I placed a pee trap by using a section of platinum cured silicone tube, which kept the vapor from pushing up the drain/collection manifold. Will look for an image.
Ooops

Might need to zoom in. Sorry, old pics.
