RVT series Refrigerated Vapor Traps are reliable, easy-to-use, compact
benchtop traps for solvent vapor condensation and collection. Mechanically
refrigerated vapor traps replace dry ice/methanol traps, and are the easiest,
most practical, and safest way to protect high-vacuum, rotary vane oil
pumps in a vacuum system.
Solvents are removed from samples during vacuum evaporation with a
SpeedVac® Concentrator or during rotary evaporation and are collected in
the CFC-free Refrigerated Vapor Trap. Solvent vapors pass into a Glass
Condensation Flask and condense on its walls. This prevents the vapors
from reaching and potentially damaging the oil-sealed vacuum pump.
When used in conjunction with the ThermoSci VaporNet® controller,
RVT-series traps provide levels of solvent recovery equal to the most
elaborate liquid nitrogen traps.
Operating temperature is -105
The RVT5105 is controlled simply by an on/off (I/O) switch located on the
left side. An amber LED on the right front indicates that the unit is on. A
green LED indicates that the operating temperature has been reached and
the unit is ready to use.
The RVT5105 employs a cascade (dual compressor) refrigeration system to
achieve its low operating temperatures.
To assure safe operation and best results, read this
CAUTION!
manual in its entirety before operating this instrument. Improper
operation can damage the trap or your vacuum pump.
