Distillation temp probe
Distillation temp probe
(OP)
Dear All
We have a small packed column with id 750mm. Can someone please recommend how far into the column the temperature transmitter pockets should extend into the packed sections.
I would think the further they go in, the more the disruption to the liquid flow down the column (more channelling?). However, if too short, will the temp measured be unreliable?
Is it better not to have a pocket?

Too close to the edge and you'll get the temperature of the liquid coming down the walls.
Of course, we only use loosely pack columns so it's easy to place them where we like.
