how much more sap will a vacuum system produce
Abstract. Yields of sugar maple sap collected from three plastic pipeline systems by gravity, vacuum pump, and a vacuum pump with a transfer tank were compared during 2 years in northern Vermont.The transfer system yielded 27 percent more sap one year and 17 percent more the next year.Higher vacuum levels at the tapholes were observed in the transfer system.he transfer system yielded 27 percent more sap one year and 17 percent more the next year. Higher vacuum levels at the tapholes were observed in the transfer system.
