4.3.2 Complete system: connecting the emission condenser
1. Remove packaging from the emission condenser.
2. Remove red cap from the upper connection.
3. Screw the angle connection sideways into the emission condenser.
4. Connect the pump outlet with the connection on the side of the emission condenser using the
hose.
5. Attach the emission condenser from the side or from the front below the front left foot of the
device.
6. You can install a filter at the upper connection of the emission condenser. The overpressure
at the pump outlet of the complete system must not exceed 1 bar.
WARNING!
Risk of injury from overpressure.
Overpressure in the exhaust gas lines (e.g., from closed taps or blocked pipes) can cause the
pipes to burst.
 Only use pipes with a sufficiently large cross section.
 Always keep the exhaust gas line free.
 Do not place any objects on the exhaust gas lines.
 Do not bend the exhaust gas lines.
 Do not fit any hose clamps or valves to the exhaust gas lines.
 Note the maximum pressures and differential pressures permitted (see p. 41).
Hint!
Please check whether the use of the emission condenser is sufficient for the intended
application. For the evaporation of chemically aggressive or biologically hazardous substances
one of the following measures must be taken:
• Replace the emission condenser with a suitable cold trap or chemical trap.
• Place the emission condenser in an ice bath.
• Attach a hose to the upper connection of the emission condenser and connect it to an
extraction system.
• Set up a series connection of cold trap or chemical trap and emission condenser.
Hint!
The pump of Concentrator plus and/or Vacufuge plus is fully solvent resistant. Therefore, the
emission condenser can be placed behind the pump.
Hint!
There must be a fall from the pump outlet to the emission condenser inlet to prevent liquid from
collecting in the hose.
