Data Base:
The Koehler software uses a
standard ACCESS database to store programs
and results. “Program.mdb“ contains all stored
programs and “Result.mdb“ contains all made
distillation runs. It is not allowed to manipulate or
change values in the database by an external
programs because of possible data loss. It is
only allowed to read data out of the data base
for export or a LIMS system. In this case a full
installed version of ACCESS is necessary (not
included). For backup use these files.
5 Safety
Features
The Koehler Automatic Distillation Analyzer is
equipped with several safety and protection
features, which are described in the following
sections.
5.1
Flask Heater Compartment and
Auto Fire Extinguisher
The design of the flask heater compartment
makes this instrument one of the safest
automatic distillation units available. The
physical dimensions of the heater compartment
are in compliance with the ASTM suggested
specifications. The side walls are insulated with
asbestos-free heat resistant material and the
door is made of polycarbonate.
The heater compartment has an optical fire
sensor mounted on the back wall. This sensor
continuously monitors the compartment to watch
for flask fires that are usually caused by cracked
or broken boiling flasks. In the event of a fire, the
instrument will automatically turn off power to
the critical components. Because of the fire
potential, it is recommended that the instrument
be operated within visual and audible range of
the operators. The instrument should not be
located under or near ceiling mounted sprinkler
type fire extinguishing heads. The area above
the distillation unit should be fireproof also. From
time to time, especially after a fire, the sensor
must be cleaned and checked (possibly with a
lighter) to determine if the function is ok. The
part wears over time. Therefore it must be
changed in case of malfunction!
