We tried simple closed columns, but moved on to closed loop. Attached is a dirty peeecture of the test sled that we built.

As you can see, we kept the column horizontal, with a stack on the injection end and a taller one on the discharge end. We injected into one end, until liquid flowed through the other end, and then closed both valves.

We then turned on the scientific grade vibrator for about three minutes, before opening the discharge valve and draining the column.

Careful cracking the valve slowly to drain the column, because pressure will have built up from the LPG mix vaporizing. Different mixes will have different pressures. Check out the attached chart for pressures at temperature for different mixes.
