12.3 Solvent data
The graph shows the relationship between the pressure and boiling temperature of a selection of solvents.
The temperature difference between the vapor temperature and the cooling medium
should be at 20 K to result in sufficient condensation.
The temperature difference between the heating bath and vapor temperature should be at
20 K to result in a sufficient Distillation rate (dT).
i.e.: Set a vacuum for a boiling point at 40 °C, set the heating bath temperature at 60 °C.
