1.0 DESCRIPTION
Thermo Savant’s Universal Vacuum System (UVS400/UVS400A) is a multipurpose vac-
uum source and solvent recovery system, combined in a single, integrated unit (Figure 1).
The system includes a refrigerated vapor trap, and oil-free vacuum pump; the UVS400A
version (220 V/60 Hz or 230 V/50 Hz) also includes a VaporNet
® controller. Together,
these elements form a low-maintenance vacuum system that offers improved reliability
over those based on oil-filled vacuum pumps, which require frequent maintenance and
can easily be damaged by contaminating liquids.
The Universal Vacuum System is ideal for applications that evaporate solvents from sam-
ples or substances. It is used with Thermo Savant’s SpeedVac
® vacuum concentrator, Gel
Dryer, or other vacuum-dependent equipment such as vacuum ovens or rotary evapora-
tors. The vapor trapping efficiency and thermal capacity of the UVS400/UVS400A pro-
vides evaporation rates equivalent to or better than component systems relying on main-
tenance-intensive rotary vane oil vacuum pumps. At the same time, the
UVS400/UVS400A is the most energy efficient and environmentally safe vacuum system
available, providing complete recovery of evaporated solvents.
Three major elements are incorporated within the UVS400/UVS400A. The refrigerated
vapor trap features a Glass Condensation Flask that collects condensing solvent vapors
generated by the attached equipment. Recovered condensate can then be safely handled
for proper disposal or recycling. The oil-free vacuum pump eliminates frequent mainte-
nance required by oil-filled pumps, and is corrosion-resistant for long life.
