The instrument consists of a base and stand assembly, mounted in a shallow bath. The entire instrument rotates so that all samples are accessible from the front. Round flasks sit on a cover disk and are heated by hot water and steam. Solvents with boiling points up to 65° C can be handled. For maximum beat transfer, jar shaped flasks can be immersed directly into the bath water. An optional vacuum manifold permits solvents with boiling points up to 90° C to be processed.
The condenser water supply includes a flow meter, rigid supply tube, rotating inlet/drain port, parallel supply/return manifolds and a flexible return tube. Quick disconnect fittings are used on the manifolds. The system can be connected to a bench cold-water tap. A refrigerated water chiller is recommended as an accessory for improved control of condenser temperature and water conservation.
The 4.5-inch deep, stainless steel water bath is thermostatically controlled and will accurately maintain water temperature from 30° to 100° C. It is equipped with a water level device, a high temperature limit switch and a GFCI electrical plug for safety. An intrinsically safe, purged case is available as an option. The bath is UL/CUL approved for laboratory use. |
