WARRANTY TRIANGLE BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES, INC. (TBS), for itself and all its subsidiaries, does hereby warrant for a period of one year (12 months) from the date of shipping, under normal and proper usage, all of its products against defects in workmanship and material, and will repair or replace the same without charge when shipped prepaid to TBS’s factory in Durham, NC, USA. -
Page 5: General Information
GENERAL INFORMATION The TBS Solvent Recovery System is designed for recovering solvents used in Histopathology with a boiling point between 50 - 180° C. Using a closed system with fractional distillation design, the Solvent Recovery System can be operated simply and safely. This Manual - Reading this manual is essential for correct and safe use of this equipment. -
Page 6: Solvent Containment
TBS Solvent Recovery Systems have been designed and manufactured to be ignition resistant if operated in a highly volatile environment (explosion proof). All units are shipped with a normal 15 amp Hospital Grade, ETL™ & UL approved electrical plug. Be advised that if you intend to operated your unit in a dangerously volatile environment an explosion proof plug must be installed with its special receptacle. -
Page 7: Operating Procedures
OPERATING PROCEDURES Purpose - The TBS Solvent Recovery System was manufactured for the purpose of recovering solvents used within the laboratory setting. Many laboratories now use the TBS equipment for recovering solvents such as xylene and graded alcohols. (See List of Acceptable Distillation Solvents in this manual) In the average size laboratory, the recovery of these two solvents have proven to have saved thousands of dollars each year as well as protecting the environment from toxic chemicals being stored and/or transported. -

the Working Thermostat dial setting. The setting should be reduced to 150°C the same for Alcohol, and you must adjust the Fractional Thermostat temperature down to 85° C when recovering Alcohol. 9. The first container under the solvent outlet nozzle will collect the purest alcohol. Your second container, under solvent outlet nozzle will collect the recovered alcohol. - Page 9 8. Set the timer for distillation. For a full distilling chamber it will take 5-6 hours for complete distillation to be accomplished. This may vary with the solvent. Alcohol, for example, may take up to 6 hours. The final results will not be effected and the unit will not be damaged if you over set the timer. NOTE: When you wish to recycle alcohol (boiling point of 78°C), it is necessary to change the temperature of the Working Thermostat dial setting.

Page 10: Acceptable Distillation Solvents
IMPORTANT: IF CHLORINATED SOLVENTS ARE TO BE RECOVERED, YOU MUST USE THE WORKING TEMPERATURES GIVEN IN THE ACCEPTABLE DISTILLATION SOLVENTS TABLE. WORKING WITH A HIGHER TEMPERATURE COULD RESULT IN FORMATION OF HYDROCHLORIC ACID. THIS CHEMICAL REACTION COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO BOTH THE VESSEL AS WELL AS THE CONDENSER, BOTH MADE OUT OF STAINLESS STEEL. -

Always be certain that the cover gasket does not show signs of wear or have any debris attached to it. -

NOTE: Because the oil expands when it is heated leakage will occur if the oil reservoir is over filled. Annual - After 2,000 hours of operation of the 3-gal unit or after one year (which ever is earlier), it will be necessary to have preventive maintenance performed on the unit. -
Page 13: Malfunctions, Causes And Remedies
MALFUNCTIONS, CAUSES AND REMEDIES Problem: Unit is heating up to set temps. Unit will recycle off water, alcohol and xylene into one container, second container, first container remains empty. Initial troubleshooting revealed that the switching module was okay and did not need replaced. Possible Solutions: Middle thermostat, which controls distillation temp may have become loose within well and is not registering temp. -

Baffle - A metal duct used to direct the vapors to the vapor collection manifold. The baffle is filled with packing to impede the flow of vapor causing a reflux. The condensed liquid rectifies vapor. Boiling Point - The temperature at which the given product starts to transform into its gaseous form.
