    2. Theory According to the Kjeldahl theory, there are three processes including digestion, distillation and titration in the test. The Kjeldahl Distillation Unit is able to execute the distillation process automatically. The chemical reactions listed below occur after a sample has been completely digested. ⎯...

    IV. Names of Kjeldahl Distillation Unit Parts The Kjeldahl Distillation Unit is a special system, which can automatically distill the completely digested samples and show the workflow in real time mode. The system mainly consists of a microcontroller, steam generator, distillation system and an automated reagent dispensing system. The exterior structure is shown in the following diagram: Fig.
  • Page 8 The power supply should meet the specified requirement, which must have ground wire, independent power switch and fuse protection to guarantee the safety of operators. The Kjeldahl Distillation Unit should be far away from any big-scale electric equipment, and its working environment should be free of vibration and electromagnetic interference, in which there is no corrosive substances.

  • Page 12 I Test 1 Automatic Test The Kjeldahl Distillation Unit Enters automatic test parameter interface shown in Fig. 3 Fig. 3 Press 【 Up 】 , 【 Down 】 , 【 Left 】 , 【 Right 】 keys to target the parameter, and press 【Number】key for modification.
  • Page 13 The icon during operation is shown in Fig. 6. Fig. 6 You may press 【Stop】key to end the experiment. The first interface on completion of the test is shown in Fig. 7. Fig. 7 2 Manual test The system will offer safety notes first, as shown in Fig. 8, when you select the manual test interface.
  • Page 14 Fig. 9 Input the volume of boric acid to be added with 【Number】key and press 【OK】key for adding, as shown in Fig. 10. Fig. 10 You may press 【Stop】key to stop adding during the experiment. 3 Maintenance Maintenance includes flushing of alkali piping, liquid adding for calibration, function commissioning, safety setting and flushing of alkali piping.
  • Page 15 Fig. 12 Press 【OK】key for flushing of alkali piping, otherwise press 【Back】key for exit. The interface for alkali piping flushing is shown in Fig.13, and it will Back to maintenance interface after flushing. Fig. 13 Liquid adding for calibration Liquid adding for calibration includes calibration by dilution water, alkali solution, boric acid solution or drip washing water, as shown in Fig.
  • Page 16 Fig. 15 The instructions on the interface shall be observed strictly prior to calibration. When everything is ready, press 【OK】key and the Kjeldahl Distillation Unit starts adding liquid to the digestion duct through the dilution water valve. Liquid adding will end with a “tick” sound and the dialogue box will appear in lower part of the interface, as shown in Fig.16.
  • Page 17 Function Commissioning Function commissioning is aimed at testing each component to see whether it is in normal operation condition, as shown in Fig. 18. Press 【Up】,【Down】,【Left】,【Right】keys for selection of corresponding components. Press 【OK】key for opening and press it again for closing. Correct positioning of the protection door, digestion duct, water level cup and condensed water is for supervision of the Kjeldahl Distillation Unit safety.
