Chapter 2: Prerequisites
Vacuum Line Traps
When using a mechanical pump which is not corrosion
resistant, the CentriVap Cold Trap or equivalent trap
must be used in the vacuum line to prevent damage
from solvent vapors. When evaporating acids, it is
advisable to include a soda lime acid secondary trap in
the vacuum line. This adds additional protection for the
pump.
Several components within the
CentriVap are made from stainless
steel or aluminum and can be
degraded if exposed to acids. Before
evaporating acids, be sure to contact
Labconco.
A moisture trap, solvent trap and radioisotope trap are
also available. Refer to Appendix D: CentriVap
Accessories for ordering information.
Space Requirements
Refer to Appendix C: CentriVap Specifications for
dimensional drawings of the CentriVap.
Your Next Step
After you have determined that the location for your
CentriVap accommodates the installation and
operational requirements, you are ready to unpack and
install your CentriVap. Proceed to Chapter 3: Getting
