6 Operation
This chapter explains the operating elements and possible operating modes. It gives instructions on
how to operate the Multivapor properly and safely.
6 .1 Settings at the Multivapor platform
Variable parameters of the instrument are the temperature and rotational speed of the horizontal
movement of the heating plate.
NOTICE
Risk of glass breakage by excessive strains.
• Mount all glassware parts without strains.
• Check glassware for proper fixing regularly and readjust fixing points if necessary
• Do not use defective glassware.
• Use the protective shield (optional).
NOTICE
Risk of instrument damage by lack of heating medium in the crystal rack.
• Make sure that there is always heating medium within the crystal rack when the instrument is
switched on and the actual temperature is below the set temperature.
! CAUTION
Risk of minor or moderate burns when handling hot parts.
• Do not touch hot parts or surfaces (especially the heating plate with up to 95 °C).
• Make sure that no liquid can overflow from the glass cylinders when the samples tubes are
submerged.
• Use the protective shield (optional) to shield hot parts.
NOTE
The display specifies the temperature of the water in the glass cylinder. During evaporation heat is
transferred from the heating medium to the condenser eventually, which may result in a consider-
able temperature drop of up to 15 °C in the water bath. This fact has to be taken into account when
selecting an appropriate coolant temperature inside the condenser.
