Introduction Section 2 Thermo Scientific electrically heated water stills are available in four sizes; 1, 2, 5 and 10 gallons per hour of distilled water. The distilled water produced by the stills contains not more than 1.0 ppm total solids, with a pH value of 5.4 to 7.2 and an electrical resistance of not less than 300,000...
The low water cutoff consists of the Solid State Low Water Control, a probe assembly for installation on stills, and still heat control (contactor). Classic Elec Heated Stills Thermo Scientific...
This device will shut off the power to the heating elements of the still if the temperature in the boiler section exceeds a given preset temperature of Protection (OTP) the Over Temperature Protection Device. This will prevent the elements from running away on temperature. Thermo Scientific Classic Elec Heated Stills...

Note The "off" time is fixed at ten minutes. Note If switches 1 and 4 are ON (regardless of switch positions 2 and 3), the still will cycle 10 minutes ON, then 10 minutes OFF. Figure 5-1. Dip Switch Settings Thermo Scientific Classic Elec Heated Stills...
Note Ideally, the temperature of the steam and gases escaping the vent should be 70°C or higher. To measure the vent temperature, use a thermocouple probe, such as the Thermo Scientific PM20700 Digital Pyrometer, inserted into the vent. Note Circuit breaker on side of Control Cabinet will shut down power to the control section and still power.
This condition is corrected by draining the still through the drain valve at frequent intervals. 3. Demineralized Water. When demineralized water is used as feedwater, the deconcentrator valve may be kept closed. Thermo Scientific Classic Elec Heated Stills...
Note Ideally, the temperature of the steam and gases escaping the vent should be 70°C or higher. To measure the vent temperature, use a thermocouple probe, such as the Thermo Scientific PM20700 Digital Pyrometer, inserted into the vent. Note Do not change the setting of the cooling water throttling valve and deconcentrator valve.
