    Default Float box

    So I'm in the designing process once again for a new evaporator and have been throwing around some ideas on a float box style system. One idea I have is to use the same thorey as a moisture trap. What size are the feed line inlets on float valves on the bigger rigs in the 400 to 500 gph boiling rate, 1 1/2", 2"?

    If you have a 500 gallon per hour boiling rate, yea you might need 2 inch feeding it. You might want to look at some rigs that size and take some measurements and pictures. Is this wood fired?
