Data Operation

Automatic calculating system of vacuum pressure at data operation

Data operation by automatic calculating system on the RE601/801 model is described. This function is
exclusive to the RE601/801 model.
This function is applicable to operation modes of fixed temperature, fixed temperature time, descending
and descending timer on the RE601/801 model. The calculating function of the optimum vacuum
pressure necessary for the data operation is previously registered for 53 kinds of solvent. The distilling
operation optimum for the solvent to be used, therefore, can be performed by selecting the solvent
name used and by setting the evaporating temperature (bath temperature).
The preset vacuum pressure is automatically calculated using the Antoine’s three constants (constants
A, B and C), based on the evaporating temperature curve for respective solvents. These constants
related to the 53 solvents listed below are previously registered respectively and the optimum vacuum
pressure for operation can be automatically set by only selecting the name of solvent used. The
distilling temperature (bath temperature) of sample (solvent), however, varies depending on the distilling
conditions and must be set with respect to each operation.

You must set up the both temperature, evaporating temperature and the circulating water temperature
suitably to distill it from the viewpoint of efficiency. It’s necessary to remove a thermal energy supplied by
bath, sets up setup temperature lower than bath temperature about 20℃.And sets up cooling water
temperature lower than setup temperature about 20℃ to improve a recovery, too.

Example ”Cooling water circulation unit use”

Bath temperature：40℃ Evaporating temperature：20℃ cooling water temperature：0℃

Example “water service use”

Bath temperature：60℃ Evaporating temperature：40℃ cooling water temperature：20℃

As for the “End Temperature” value, 2.0℃ is recommended. However do the fine tuning of temperature
the solvent is leaved when Automatic Operation is finished and Automatic Operation doesn’t finish when
after evaporation is completed.

The value of “End Temperature ” is set up high when operation is finished with a solvent left.
The value of “End Temperature ” is set up low when operation isn’t finished after evaporation is
completed.
