Qualitative coupled-system principle retained. PDF316 output heuristics are not a safety diagnostic;319 material conductivity ratios are not whole-condenser performance;322 Vigreux terminology is confused. No equipment approval follows.
The pages compare still components and capacity relationships.
Still selection is presented as a system problem: boiler volume and heat input determine vapor production, while condenser type, surface area, coolant flow, and temperature must be adequate to knock that vapor down safely and efficiently.
