Choosing vacuum equipment<br />

Choosing vacuum equipment<br />

For rotary evaporators / parallel evaporators<br />

■ <strong>Vacuum</strong> requirements <strong>for</strong> rotation evaporators can vary greatly depending upon the solvent and evaporating temperature.<br />

This is the reason why a modern vacuum system includes built-in vacuum regulation to help you reach optimum<br />

evaporating rates. This significantly shortens the process duration and minimizes environmental and laboratory air<br />

pollution.<br />

Process requirements<br />

■<br />

medium to high vacuum requirements<br />

■ fast and highly sensitive vacuum regulation with samples that tend to superheating<br />

or foaming<br />

■<br />

■<br />

■<br />

vacuum regulation <strong>for</strong> short process times and high reproducibility<br />

optimum condensation in the cooler of the rotation evaporator<br />

recovery of residual solvent vapors after the pump<br />

Demands made of the vacuum pump<br />

■ excellent chemical and condensate compatibility<br />

■ effective gas ballast equipment to prevent condensation in the<br />

pump and protect pump per<strong>for</strong>mance<br />

■ excellent ultimate vacuum even with gas ballast operation <strong>for</strong><br />

continuous evaporation<br />

■ low ultimate vacuum needed at low condensing temperatures or<br />

with high boiling point solvents<br />

■ emission condenser <strong>for</strong> solvent recovery minimizes environmental<br />

and laboratory air pollution<br />

■ <strong>for</strong> applications with larger amounts of inflammable solvents:<br />

pumps and gauges with ATEX-approval<br />

An example of a typical high-temperature boiling solvent is DMF. Its vapor pressure at 40°C is at approximately 11<br />

mbar. For such high-temperature boilers, we recommend a system or pumping unit that reaches 4 mbar of ultimate<br />

vacuum even with gas ballast, such as the PC 3001 VARIO.<br />

Recommended systems<br />

Without vacuum regulation, but including vapor capture: Ultimate vacuum 7 mbar or as much as 1.5 mbar:<br />

MZ 2C NT +AK+EK or MD 1C +AK+EK<br />

With classical two-point vacuum regulation with a solenoid valve: Ultimate vacuum 7 mbar or to 1.5 mbar:<br />

PC 510 NT or PC 610 NT<br />

Precision and fully automatic VARIO ® vacuum regulation: Ultimate vacuum 7 mbar or as much as 2 mbar:<br />

PC 3002 or PC 3001 VARIO<br />

Especially good ultimate vacuum up to 0.6 mbar, <strong>for</strong> evaporation at low bath temperature: PC 3003 VARIO<br />

Entry-level systems <strong>for</strong> precise vacuum regulation that can be upgraded to full automation<br />

ATEX chemistry diaphragm pumps and ATEX chemistry vacuum systems<br />
