Abstract
A distillation head of embodiments of the disclosed technology has a vertical tube which extends to and partially through a fraction collector. The vertical tube is mostly filled with a distillation key which is attached to a top side of the fraction collector and extends downwards through the vertical tube without coming into contact with same. A class housing or shell surrounds the vertical tube, which in turn, surrounds the distillation key or, at least a majority of each while the vertical tube extends past an area circumscribed by the shell and the distillation key extends past an area circumscribed by the vertical tube in some embodiments of the disclosed technology.
Claims20
A short path distillation head comprising:
- a vertical tube with undulating side walls;
- a distillation key with undulating side walls corresponding to said undulating side walls of said vertical tube, wherein said side walls of said distillation key and said undulating side walls of said vertical tube are constructed such that a distance between said undulating side walls of each of said distillation key and vertical tube is substantially constant;
- wherein said distillation key fills a majority of a region of said vertical tube with said undulating side walls.
A short path distillation head comprising:
- a hollow vertical tube, wherein a majority of an interior volume of said hollow vertical tube, at each cross-section of said hollow vertical tube is filled with a solid distillation key;
- said solid distillation key being unattached to said vertical tube;
- a fraction collector into which a lip of said hollow vertical tube passes therein;
- wherein said solid distillation key and said hollow vertical tube converge to a narrower and parallel region at said fraction collector.
