Characteristics and advantages of the i-Fischer Dist D-1160 CC
The analysis is printed out simultaneously to the distillation and the distillation curves in actual boiling temperatures (ACT) and atmospheric equivalent temperatures (AET) as well as essential distillation parameters are shown on the monitor. The final data and the distillation curves are printed and stored on hard disk.
- Unit is fully housed regarding to additional safety aspects, all front parts are made
- transparent for convenient viewing of the whole distillation process
- programmable set for condenser temperature following the vapour temperature
- recalling of distillation protocols and curves at any time, all controlling distillation parameters can be modified at any moment
- special software feature with “Supervisory Mode” for operating (partly or totally) the unit manually by overruling the automatic control with indication of every manually operated control loop in the flow chart
- Automatic calibration of volume measuring system delivers accurate detailed distillation
- data, precise volume measurement , volume follower system for automatic control of the distillation rate and heating rate, equipped with light barrier and stepper motor (resolution and accuracy better than 0.05 ml)
- automatic anti foaming procedure
- free programmable heating rates with free selectable switch point
- automatic cleaning program procedure
- automatic shutdown procedure (cooling phase, ventilation etc.)
- built-in thermostatic bath and immersion cooler for the automatic operation of the vacuum
- cold trap, closed process system, temperature range down to -40.. .-50°C. No operationwith dry ice.
Software Features of the i-Fischer D-1160 CC Control System
- Fully automated operation from test definition and initialisation to instrument status and reporting
- WINDOWS~ based software, complete with PC, peripherals, printer
- Facility for internal data storage and external transfer (e.g. LIMS by applicant)
- Facility to interrupt or stop a test at a specified volume / temperature point
- Facility of automatic weight calculation and compensation
- Self diagnosis, all vital parameters and components are accessible during the run
- Printing of multiple distillation curves on a single graph for analysis
