The solvent to be evaporated is present in the evaporator flask (2). Depending on the
thermodynamic properties of the solvent, the solvent is evaporated by a suitably selected
combination of the heating bath temperature (3) and the vacuum. The settings are made
on the control panel (5) of the base unit (4). The drive unit (1) provides a rotation, which
reduces the risk of boiling evaporation and accelerates the evaporation process by increasing the surface area of the solvent. The solvent vapor reaches the condenser (7)
via the vapor tube, is condensed and then flows into the receiving flask (6).

12.3 Solvent data
The temperature difference between the vapor temperature and the cooling medium
should be at 20 K to result in sufficient condensation.
The temperature difference between the heating bath and vapor temperature should be at
20 K to result in a sufficient Distillation rate (dT).
i.e.: Set a vacuum for a boiling point at 40 °C, set the heating bath temperature at 60 °C.
