refrigerated vapor trap for vacuum concentration apparatus

Refrigerated vapor trap is a kind of auxiliary condensing equipment supporting the vacuum system, widely used in vacuum drying, decompression evaporation, concentration recovery and other experiments and industrial processes.

Description

Refrigerated Vapor Trap

The refrigerated vapor trap intercepts water vapor and organic solvent vapors released from reaction systems through efficient condensation technology, preventing these gases from entering the vacuum pump. This enhances system stability, operating efficiency, and extends the pump’s service life.

Features

  1. High-Efficiency Condensation Design: Selectable direct or indirect cooling structure for various experimental needs.
  2. Corrosion-Resistant Chamber Materials: Made of high-quality stainless steel, suitable for aqueous and organic solvent conditions.
  3. Intelligent Temperature Control: Digital display for real-time tank temperature monitoring and precise condensation control.
  4. Comprehensive Safety Protection: Built-in delayed start, overcurrent, and overheating protection for safe operation.
  5. Compact and Mobile: Small footprint with brake-equipped casters for easy movement and fixation.
  6. Easy Maintenance: Bottom drain valve for convenient liquid discharge and cleaning.
  7. No Consumable Refrigerants Needed: Mechanical refrigeration system; no need for dry ice or liquid nitrogen, ensuring low cost and simple operation.

Working Principle

The core principle is low temperature condensation. Vapors from the vacuum system are introduced into a cooled chamber, where they condense into liquid at the set temperature and collect at the bottom, protecting the vacuum pump and enabling solvent recovery. This supports environmental protection and energy saving.

Application Areas

  1. Laboratory vacuum drying (e.g., samples, battery materials, capacitor pole pieces): prevents pump damage from solvent vapors.
  2. Pilot and small-scale production: pharmaceutical, chemical, food industries for low-temp concentration and solvent recycling.
  3. Battery industry: vacuum drying of pole pieces and cores.
  4. Cryogenic pre-cooling: pre-cool samples or conduct low-temp reactions—alternative to traditional dry ice baths.
  5. Organic solvent recovery: captures ethanol, acetone, methanol, etc., for reuse.
  6. Electronic materials drying: suitable for low-temp dehumidification of moisture-sensitive components.
