5 Operating the Rotavapor

Make sure that the Rotavapor was installed correctly as per
the instructions in Chapter 4, «Putting into operation».
If the power switch is turned on, all functions will be active as
soon as the power plug is inserted. To prevent damage, set
the rotation controller and the heater to «0».

5.1 Controls

Power switch
To switch the Rotavapor on and off

Speed controller for rotation of the rotary evaporator
The rotation is infinitely variable between 20 and 240 rpm.

Heating temperature controller
The bath temperature is infinitely variable between 20 and
90 °C

Heating pilot lamp
This indicates when the heater is on.

Quick-lift handle
Turn counter clockwise to unlock the lift to move down
and up.

Hot liquid may be splashed out of the bath as the rotating
evaporation flask is moved into and out of the bath. You should
stop the rotation, therefore, before immersing or removing
the flask.

5 Operating the Rotavapor

5.2 Performing a distillation run

In the following section we shall describe how to start, optimize
and end a distillation run on the basis of a checklist.

1. Rotavapor fully installed

All the electrical connections correct (power cable, heater).
All the seals properly installed.
All the ground-glass joints greased.
Evaporation flask attached.

2. Evacuate the Rotavapor to test for leaks.

Leak test as described in Chapter 6.2, Function test (< 3
mbar pressure rise / min.).

3. Set heating bath to 60 °C

4. Water in bath has reached a temperature of 60 °C

5. Cooling water

Have cooling water flow through the condenser at a rate of
approx. 40–50 l/h and at a temperature not higher than
20°C
