Electrical Requirements
The CentriVap Cold Trap requires a dedicated electrical outlet. 115V (-50°C &
-85°C) Models require a 15 Amp circuit breaker or fuse rated at 115V (60 Hz).
115V (-105°C) Models require a 20 Amp circuit breaker or fuse rated at 115V (60
Hz). 230V Models require an 8 Amp circuit breaker or fuse rated at 230V (50/60
Hz). If the power cord supplied with the Cold Trap does not match the available
receptacle, replace it with an approved power cord of the suitable style. See
CentriVap Cold Trap Components in Chapter 3 for power cord specifications.
Location and Exhaust Requirements
The CentriVap Cold Trap should be located on a surface that is stable, flat and
level.
WARNING: Solvents used in the Cold Trap can cause skin, eye, respiratory
and digestive system disorders. The CentriVap Cold Trap System should be
located within a fume hood if hazardous or flammable solvents are used.
Heating of materials could lead to the liberation of hazardous gases. In all
cases, regardless of the solvent used, it is strongly recommended that the
vacuum pump is vented in a fume hood. An accessory secondary trap is
available to minimize the exhausting of solvents into the atmosphere. This
does not, however, negate the need to exhaust the vacuum pump into a fume
hood. Failure to properly vent the system will expose personnel to potentially
harmful chemicals.
The CentriVap Cold Trap has not been evaluated by an approval agency for
the use of biological, radio toxins or flammable liquids or materials.
