Optimization of the distillation process
Refill evaporating flask only up to one third. Position the flask sensor
accordingly.
Use large evaporating flasks whenever possible.
Use the following recommended immersion depths:
The end of the PTFE tube (15) Ø 6 mm varies. PTFE tube (16) Ø 8
mm (only on Distimatic including automatic drainage of residue)
ends approximately 2 - 3 mm above the bottom of the evaporating
flask. Flask sensor (17) ends just above the required maximum fill
level.
This way your distillation process will become much faster.
The immersion depth of the PTFE tubes and the flask sensor in the evaporating flask
may be adjusted by loosening the respective screw cap slightly at the multiple screw
connection and by pulling or pushing the PTFE tube or the flask sensor.
Re-secure the screw caps on the multiple screw connection so they are hand-tight
again.
