1. INTRODUCTION.

3

1.1. The Cole-Parmer range of Electric Bunsen’s have a high temperature heat
source designed for general purpose laboratory use. They are suitable for the non­con

tact radiant heating of materials in test tubes, crucibles, small flasks and beakers.

1.2. Each Bunsen radiant heater bowl is constructed within a robust, corrosion resistant
cylindrical stainless steel housing. The replaceable heater assembly consists of a
coiled resistance heater. This in turn is formed around the outer surface of a ceramic
bowl. The heater assembly is then mounted in the top of the Bunsen’s cylindrical
housing. Air circulation / cooling vents are provided in the lower half of the Bunsen
housing ensuring that the base remains cool enough to touch whilst operational. A
detachable cowl is supplied with the Bunsen to deflect heat from the medium surface
when hand holding the Bunsen (with heat-resistance gloves).

3.2. General Safe Operating Practice.

Always follow good laboratory practice when using this
equipment. Give due recognition to your company’s safety and
legislative health & safety procedures and all associated legislation
applicable to your areas of operation. Check laboratory procedures for
substances being heated and ensure all hazards (e.g. explosion,
implosion or the release of toxic or flammable gases) that might arise
have been suitably addressed before proceeding. When heating
certain substances the liberation of hazardous gases may require the
use of a fume cupboard or other means of extraction.

6

Do not immerse unit in water or fluids.

Do not spill substances onto this product. If spillage does occur,

disconnect unit from mains supply and follow instructions as detailed
in Maintenance. (Section 9).

Do not cover this product whilst in use. Do not block or obstruct
ventilation slots / airways.

Do not leave this product switched on when not in use.

7.2.2. Check the data plate voltage conforms to local supply. Connect the CN-200-800
controller to the mains electricity supply.

7.2.3. Rotate the regulator knob to increase power to the Bunsen. This will increase
the operating temperature. The White neon on the CN-200-800 controller will
indicate the presence of mains electricity. The Amber neon will pulse as the
controller applies power indicating when mains electricity is being supplied to
the Bunsen. (Refer to CN-200-800 controller Instructions manual for complete
operation).

7.2.4. For effective heating of sample place the test tube so that it is positioned

11

approximately 25mm directly above the top of the Bunsen, thus allowing for
maximum vertical radiation into the vessel.

7.2.5. For quick heating, the test tube should be positioned so that it is just inside the
mouth of the ceramic heating bowl.

7.2.6. Non-contact crucible heating may be achieved by removing the cowl. It is

recommended that heat resistant gloves should be worn when removing
the cowl). The cowl is removed by rotating in the direction indicated in the
illustration below.

7.2.7. A proprietary retort stand and clamp should be used to securely hold and

12

position vessels over the Bunsen ceramic heating bowl.

7.2.8.

Parts of the Bunsen get very hot during operation, do not move the
Bunsen when still connected to power or still hot. Refer to diagram of hot zones
at the end of section 2.2 and 3.2 for safe operating distance.

7.2.9.

Do not fill the inner ceramic bowl with liquid or any other substance.

7.3. Use without an CN-200-800 controller.

7.3.1. Plug the IEC end of the mains cable into the Bunsen IEC lead. Connect the moulded
plug to your power supply and switch on at the mains.

NOTE: The Bunsen will commence heating on full power immediately, ensure it is
positioned in a safe environment, see paragraph 3.2 – General Safe Operating Practice.
