The S-EVAP-KD combines standard KD evaporation procedures with our unique rotary bath and manifold, increasing sample through put and bench space. The S-EVAP-KD comes in 5, 8, and 10 position models. Organomation’s S-EVAP solvent evaporators have a broad range of applications including oil and grease analysis using Freon and other approved solvents, concentrating extracted materials from Soxhlet operations, and other KD evaporation methods.

At each sample position the KD flask rests on the bath cover disk and the concentrator tube sits partially submerged in the deep water bath below the cover disk. The solvent boils from the flask and through the Snyder column. The solvent vapor then cools in the condenser which is attached to a centrally located water manifold. The glassware is held in place with quick disconnect fittings which allow for easy retrieval of samples. The solvent leaves the condenser through a specially designed side arm into either an individual collection flask or a centrally located solvent collection vessel. Solvent recovery through individual or central collection options reduces laboratory emissions and increases laboratory and environmental safety. The S-EVAP-KD comes standard with Organomation’s reduced height glassware so that the instrument can fit into a standard hood.

Advantages:

·  Conserves valuable bench space: all samples are arranged in a circle

·  Easy sample access: the instrument rotates allowing all samples to be accessed from the front

·  Fewer connections: one water supply line in, one drain line out

·  Solvent recovery: recover up to 97% of starting solvent volume with individual or central solvent collection

·  Protects delicate samples: Organomation vacuum insulated concentrator tubes keep delicate samples safe

·  Gentle concentration: water bath is gentler than jacketed concentration tubes in traditional KD set-up

Standard Features:

·  Condenser holder assembly for solvent recovery condensers

·  Flow meter and rigid supply tube for condenser water supply

·  Condenser water supply/drain manifold connects to a bench cold-water tap, or a refrigerated water chiller for improved control of condenser temperature and water conservation

·  Parallel water supply/drain manifolds with quick disconnect tube fittings

·  Bath temperature range 30°C - 100°C

·  Evaporate solvents with boiling points up to 65°C, (up to 90 °C with vacuum manifold option

Optional Features:
