When selecting the vacuum pump it is very important to consider the
flammability of the solvent that will be used. If the solvents are flammable,
an explosion-proof vacuum pump or one suitable for the solvents to be
processed is recommended. See Chapter 3 Solvent Safety Precautions for
solvents suitable for use in the CentriVap.
Vacuum Line Traps
When using a mechanical pump that is not corrosion resistant, the CentriVap Cold
Trap or equivalent trap must be used in the vacuum line to prevent damage from
solvent vapors. When evaporating acids, it is advisable to include an acid
secondary trap in the vacuum line. This adds additional protection for the pump.
NOTE: Several components within the CentriVap Refrigerated
Concentrator are made from stainless steel or aluminum and can be
degraded if exposed to acids. Contact Labconco before evaporating acids.
A moisture trap, solvent trap and radioisotope trap are also available. Refer to
Chapter 6: Accessories for Your CentriVap for ordering information.
Space Requirements
Refer to Appendix C: CentriVap Refrigerated Concentrator Specifications for
dimensional drawings of the CentriVap.
No person or any hazardous material should be within 12 inches of the CentriVap
Concentrator while it is operating.
