ATENG 10814 detail
- Internal diameter: 25 mm.
Coolant column.
- Five Pyrex storage tanks for the feed, refined, solvent, extract and solute, capacity (each one): 10 l. They include drain valves.
Supply circuits and product collection circuits to connect the different components of the unit. They include five sampling taps, distributed
between all the circuits of the unit, to control the process in all the pipelines of fluid, three-way directional valves, drain valves and a
regulating valve.
- Two adjustable speed diaphragm pumps:
- Diaphragm pump with stainless steel head to pump the feed, max. flow: 47 l/h, max. pressure: 5 bar.
- Diaphragm pump with stainless steel head to pump the solvent, max. flow: 17 l/h, max. pressure: 5 bar.
- Electrical heating mantle, power: 800 W.
Two “J type” temperature sensors to measure the temperature in the column head and the boiler temperature in the distillation process.
- Two flowmeters to measure the feed and solvent flow:
- Flowmeter for acetic acid 4%, range: 0 – 48 l/h.
- Flowmeter for trichloromethane, range: 0 – 17 l/h.
The unit includes safety devices in the pumps to avoid shortcomings by overpressure. There are two pressure switches that switch off the
pumps when the pressure is high.
- Electronic console, including:
Two switches for the diaphragm pumps (for the feed and for the solvent).
Two speed controls for the diaphragm pumps.
Two control panels for the diaphragm pumps.
Switch for the electrical heating mantle.
Display for the temperature sensors.
Control display for the heating mantle (AR-1).
Cables and accessories, for normal operation.
