User interface

Ensures easy and correct upright flask positioning for both 125 ml and 200 ml flasks. The vapor probe’s height position relative to the flask’s side arm is always correct thanks to the vapor probe design in combination with the strict flask dimensions.

Heating control

Manual control through touch screen or automated from preset program optimization.

Heating system

Low mass/low voltage heater. 2 user adjustable fans for extra fast cooling after test. Automatic heater lifts with correct flask pressure & positioning. Automatic shut-off in case of fire

Condenser cooling

Solid state: based on Peltier elements with heat-pipe assisted heat sinks and silent fans for heat dissipation. No liquids involved. Condenser temperature can be increased during the distillation to deal with “light start / heavy end” products to prevent both evaporation loss and product waxing in the condenser tube. Temperature range: 0 – 65°C. Resolution 0.1°C.

Residue & Loss

Standard: Mercury 7C or 8C thermometer (not supplied by Orbis BV). AirProbe D86 upgrade: PT-100 class A probe with 10-point calibration data storage and automatic probe ID detection. True dynamic simulation of ASTM 7 & 8 in-glass thermometer behavior (lag time and emergent stem). Resolution: 0.01 ºC. Range: 0 – 450°C on ASTM and 0 – 500°C on absolute.

Pressure

Built-in pressure sensor. Automatic correction of temperature results to atmospheric pressure. Range: 70 to 110 kPa, resolution 0.1 kPa.

Fire safety*

UV sensor for fire detection. Built-in fire extinguisher. N or CO2 supply required from lab (connection hose is supplied). *Requires ordering the additional Fire Extinguisher

System health

Automatic quick system health check before every test to ensure all components are in excellent state
