4.1. Set up of equipment
Please observe the local water and waste regulations and those of your public water supply enterpri-
se!
Please note that the length of the inlet and outlet tubing is restricted to 2 meters.
The equipment should be located on a fixed laboratory bench, close to the cold water connection
and the drain.
The water pressure must be at least 0,5 bar in order to activate the integrated pressure detector.
There should be sufficient space for the set of tanks below the work bench.
4.2. General information
The VAPODEST 50 distillation system comes fully pre-assembled. Please unpack the equipment
with care !
1. Place the equipment on the work bench. Ideally, the equipment should be set up under con-
