Is this design feasible?
Thread Content
A is the oil after condensation; B is the outlet for non-condensable gases; C is the oil outlet. Will the gases exit downward through outlet C?
Oil and gas are produced by the pyrolysis of used engine oil; it is likely necessary to consider the density of the gases. I would appreciate it if experts could provide some guidance

It’s as simple as the valve used to refill that water tank: when the level reaches a certain height, the float valve automatically opens the outlet valve C, and when it drops below a certain level, it closes it again. If you release the liquid level, the gas might exit through C. Or something that works on the principle of a steam trap would also work.
Just install a U-tube at port C
Thank you. The U-tube is very suitable, but as shown in the diagram, in its complete form like this, if a U-tube is used, will the oil level stop rising due to pressure once it exceeds point C?
Very practical! Adding an upward elbow will solve it, thank you!
