Rotary evaporator structure principle
Structure: The distillation flask is an eggplant-shaped or round bottom flask with a standard ground port, connected to a pressure reducing pump through a highly refluxing serpentine condenser, and the other opening of the reflux condenser is connected to a receiving flask with a grinding port. It is used to receive the evaporated organic solvent. There is a three-way piston between the condensing tube and the decompression pump. When the system is connected to the atmosphere, the distillation flask and the liquid-receiving flask can be removed and the solvent is transferred. When the system is connected with the decompression pump, the system should be reduced. Pressure state. When using, depressurize first, then start the motor to rotate the distillation flask. At the end, stop the machine first, then pass the atmosphere to prevent the distillation flask from falling off during rotation. As a heat source for distillation, it is often equipped with a corresponding constant temperature water tank.
Rotary evaporator works
The RE-5003 Rotary Evaporator is electronically controlled to rotate the flask at the optimum speed for constant speed to increase the evaporation area. The evaporation flask was brought to a negative pressure by a vacuum pump. The evaporation flask was heated while being placed in a water bath at a constant temperature, and the solution in the flask was heated and diffusion-evaporated in a rotating flask under a negative pressure. The rotary evaporator system can seal the pressure to 400~600 mmHg; the solvent in the distillation bottle is heated by a heating bath, the heating temperature can be close to the boiling point of the solvent; and the rotation can be performed at a speed of 50-160 rpm. The solvent is formed into a film to increase the evaporation area. In addition, under the action of a high-efficiency cooler, the hot vapor can be quickly liquefied to accelerate the evaporation rate.
The main components
1. Rotating the motor to drive the evaporation bottle containing the sample by the rotation of the motor;
2, the evaporation tube, the evaporation tube has two functions, first to play the role of the sample rotation support shaft, and secondly through the evaporation tube, the vacuum system to suck the sample;
3. A vacuum system for reducing the pressure of the rotary evaporator system;
4, the fluid heating pot, usually under water to heat the sample;
5, the condensation tube, using double serpentine condensation or other condensing agents such as dry ice, acetone condensation samples;
6. Condensate the sample collection bottle. After the sample is cooled, it enters the collection bottle.
Mechanical or motor mechanisms are used to quickly lift the evaporation flask in the heating pot.
The rotary evaporator's vacuum system allows for a simple water immersion pump that is immersed in a cold water bath or a mechanical vacuum pump with a cooling tube. Evaporating and condensing glass components can be simple or complex, depending on the purpose of the distillation and the nature of the solvent to be distilled. Different commercial devices contain some basic features, and modern devices often add features such as digitally controlled vacuum pumps, digital display heating temperatures, and even steam temperatures.
Rotary evaporator use
1. Height adjustment: manually lift, turn the hand wheel above the machine column, turn to rise, reverse to decrease.
Electric lift, the hand touches the rise button and the main unit rises, and the hand touches the down button to lower the main unit.
2. There are two external joints on the condenser for connecting the cooling water. One end is connected to the water and the other end is connected to the water. Generally, the tap water is connected. The lower the temperature of the condensed water, the better the effect. The upper port is equipped with a vacuum connector and the vacuum pump tube is connected. Vacuuming.
3. Turn the speed control knob to the minimum before starting the machine, press the power switch indicator light, then slowly turn right to the required speed. Generally, the large evaporation bottle is used in medium, low speed, high viscosity solution with lower speed. Is the standard interface No. 24, with 500ml, 1000ml two flasks, the amount of solution is generally not more than 50% is appropriate.
4. When using, depressurize first, then start the motor to rotate the distillation flask. At the end, stop the motor and then pass the atmosphere to prevent the distillation flask from falling off during the rotation.
