☞
Select function ”
Pump down”. ”Speed” ”HI” is recommended. For gel dryers set a lower speed if
necessary (if the gels tend to break).
☞
Set ”Minimum” to prevent volatile components to evaporate. The process is stopped automatically as
soon as ”Minimum” is reached.
☞
Set a process time (”Duration”) if necessary.
☞
Start process by pressing key ”START/STOP”.
alternatively:
☞
Select function
”Vac control” to dry at a predetermined vacuum level.
☞
Set ”Set vacuum” to the evaporation vacuum of the solvent.
☞
Set a process time (”Duration”) if necessary.
☞
Start process by pressing key ”START/STOP”.
Assembly of a vacuum system
☞
Assemble vacuum connection lines between vacuum pump, CVC 3000 and vacuum application.
☞
Assemble the vacuum connection line between the controller and the vacuum application, if the con-
troller is not part of a pumping unit.
☞
Assemble electrical connections.
☞
Connect coolant if necessary.
Vacuum for filtration and suction
☞
Select function ”
Pump down”.
☞
If necessary set value for ”Speed” (high or low pumping speed). Reduce the speed in case of fast
sedimentation (formation of a filter cake).
☞
Set ”Set vacuum” to a value which still does not lead to evaporation of the solvent.
☞
Start process by pressing key ”START/STOP”.
alternatively:
☞
Select function ”
Vac control”.
☞
Set ”Set vacuum” to a value which still does not lead to evaporation of the solvent.
☞
If necessary set value for ”Speed” (high or low pumping speed). Reduce the speed in case of fast
sedimentation (formation of a filter cake).
☞
Set ”Maximum” to switch off the pump at the end of the process or in case of a filter cake crack (pres-
sure
increase).
☞
Start process by pressing key ”START/STOP”.
☞
Tip for filtration: Adjust preset pressure to a value well above the boiling pressure of the solvent
(e.g. water >>20 mbar). Set the maximum pressure to e.g. 500 mbar. Once the filtration has finished,
the pressure increases and the pump is switched off automatically.
