Observe the safety data sheets for all fluids used.
10/122 Operation Manual Rotavapor® R-300
Büchi Labortechnik AG Safety | 2
2.4.2
High internal pressure
The evaporation of fluids can produce high pressures inside the flask or the condenser. If that pressure becomes too great, the glass components could explode.
u u u
Make sure that the internal pressure inside the glass components is never greater than atmospheric pressure.
When distilling without a vacuum, set the vacuum pump to atmospheric pressure so that excess pressure is automatically dissipated.
If a vacuum pump is not used, leave the vacuum connection open.
2.4.3
Hot surfaces and liquids
The heating bath, evaporating flask and parts of the condenser can become very hot.
If touched they can cause skin burns.
u
Do not touch hot surfaces or liquids or else wear suitable protective gloves.
2.4.4
Rotating parts
The evaporating flask and the vapor duct are rotated by the rotary drive unit. Hair, clothing or jewelry can become caught up if allowed to come into contact with the rotating parts.
At high speeds, the heating fluid may be sprayed out by the rotation of the evaporating flask.
u u u
Wear work overalls or protective clothing.
Do not wear loose or baggy items of clothing such as scarves or neck-ties.
Tie up long hair.
u u
Do not wear jewelry such as necklaces or bracelets.
At high speeds and/or high temperatures, use the optional safety guard or a similar protective arrangement.
2.4.5

Product description
Description of function
The [Rotavapor® R-300] is a rotary evaporator with the aid of which single-stage distillation can be carried out quickly without unduly stressing the product. The basis of the process is the evaporation and condensing of solvents in a rotating evaporating flask under vacuum. Distillation under vacuum is more efficient and gentler on the product.
The product is heated in the evaporating flask by the heating bath. The rotary drive unit evenly rotates the evaporating flask. Rotation increases the surface area of the liquid which leads to an increased evaporation rate. This also constantly mixes the product which prevents localized overheating and delayed evaporation.
The vapor passes from the evaporating flask through the vapor duct into the cooling section (cooling condenser). There, the thermal energy of the vapor is transferred to the coolant fluid so that the vapor re-condenses. The resulting solvent is collected in the receiving flask and can then be reused or properly disposed of.
Distillation under vacuum
Distillation capacity depends on the following factors:
Temperature of the heating bath
Pressure in the evaporating flask
Rotation speed of the evaporating flask
Size of the evaporating flask
Pressure in the evaporating flask: a low pressure (below atmospheric) reduces the boiling point of the solvent. A lower boiling point means the solvent does not have to be heated as much. Distillation under vacuum is more efficient and gentler on the product.
Vacuum control: a stable vacuum adapted to the application prevents undesirable solvent emissions and bumping (boiling) of the product. Control of the vacuum is carried out by two means: the BUCHI VacuBox measures the current vacuum in the distillation system. The BUCHI VacuBox is connected to the BUCHI Interface I-300 or
I-300 Pro. The BUCHI Interface is used to display the current readings and control
the components of the distillation system. See also Chapter 5.16 "Assembling the
BUCHI distillation system", page 44.
Heating bath temperature, coolant temperature and vapor temperature: to ensure optimum distillation, it is important to make sure that the temperature difference between the coolant and the heating bath is at least 40 °C. The temperature of the rising vapor should be mid-way between the heating bath temperature and the
coolant temperature. See also Chapter 6.2.3 "Adjusting distillation conditions", page 63.

Fitting AutoDest sensor and vapor temperature sensor (optional accessory)
When using an Interface I-300/I-300 Pro there is the option of performing automatic distillation. Automatic distillation requires connection of an AutoDest sensor to the
Rotavapor R-300. The AutoDest sensor is connected to the inlet and outlet of the cooling condenser and continuously measures the following temperatures:
Temperature of the incoming coolant
Temperature of the outgoing coolant
Temperature of the vapor exiting the evaporating flask
NOTE
The AutoDest sensor has to be calibrated when first used and also when connected to a new VacuBox (see Operating Instructions I-300/I-300 Pro, Section 8.5
"Calibrating AutoDest sensor").

Setting up the heating bath
There are two different heating bath sizes for the Rotavapor R-300:
Heating Bath B-301 for flasks up to 1 L capacity, only suitable for the use of water as heating fluid
Heating Bath B-305 for flasks up to 5 L capacity, suitable for the use of water and oil as heating medium
Whichever size of heating bath is used, it is placed on the Heating Bath B-300 Base.
Depending on which size of heating bath is used, the heating bath base has to be pushed in a different amount on the Rotavapor rail. With the smaller heating bath, the B-301, the base is pushed in as far as it will go. With the larger heating bath, the
B-305, the heating bath base must not be pushed all the way in as otherwise the
Rotavapor lift will not be able to lower. A mechanical catch on the Heating Bath
B-305 makes sure that the heating bath base is not pushed in too far.

"Overview: Setting up communication connections (COM)", page 46 and the
relevant chapters in the operating instructions of the I-300/I-300 Pro.
NOTE
To save energy, the Interface I-300/I-300 Pro offers an "eco mode" option which can be activated if the distillation system is inactive. In eco mode, the distillation system shuts down the activity of the heating bath after a defined delay period. The heating bath does not reheat until the heating bath temperature has dropped to a defined minimum temperature. For details, refer to the operating instructions of the
Interface I-300/I-300 Pro.
6.2.3
Adjusting distillation conditions
To obtain optimum distillation conditions, the energy absorbed by the solvent from the heating bath must be removed again in the condenser. To achieve that, the following settings are recommended:
20 °C
∆ 20 °C
40 °C 2
∆ 20 °C
60 °C 3
Fig. 40: Distillation conditions
1 Coolant temperature: 20 °C
2 Vapor temperature: 40 °C
3 Heating bath temperature: 60 °C
The temperature difference between heating bath and evaporating flask and between evaporating flask and cooling condenser should be 20 °C in each case.
Operation Manual Rotavapor® R-300 63/122
6 | Operation Büchi Labortechnik AG
The pressure in the evaporating flask should be set so that the boiling point of the
solvent is around 40 °C. See Chapter 10.1 "Solvent table", page 81.
The flow rate of the coolant depends on the type of coolant used and the pump capacity of the cooler but should be at least 40 to 50 L/h.
Those settings offer the following advantages:
The evaporating flask can be replaced without the risk of skin burns.
The evaporation rate of the water in the heating bath is low.
The energy of the heating bath is efficiently utilized.
6.2.4
Optimization distillation
Depending on the solvent involved, it may also be possible to further optimize the distillation process. The distillation should always be set up so that the condensate does not cover more than three quarters of the coil in the cooling condenser. There should be no condensate visible in the top quarter.

WARNING
Risk of explosion from excessive internal pressure
The evaporating flask and/or the condenser could explode if the internal pressure produced by evaporation becomes too great.
u
Make sure that the pressure in the system is never greater than atmospheric pressure.
NOTE
The stopcock should only be inserted in the cooling condenser, not secured. If an abrupt rise in pressure occurs during distillation, the stopcock will then be able to pop out, which is intended. That guarantees that the system pressure is never greater than atmospheric pressure.
NOTE
If a distillation process is to be carried out at normal pressure, the glass components
– for example the cleaning hole (1) on the cooling condenser – should be opened to prevent pressure build-up.
If the condensation is below 3/4 of the condenser:
u
Increase the vacuum.
ð That will lower the boiling point and more vapor will enter the condenser.
u
In applications where no vacuum is applied, raise the temperature of the heating bath if necessary.
ð That will cause more solvent to evaporate.
If the condensation is above 3/4 of the condenser:
u
Decrease the vacuum.
ð That will raise the boiling point and less vapor will enter the condenser.
u
In applications where no vacuum is applied, lower the temperature of the heating bath.
ð That will cause less solvent to evaporate.
6.2.5
Adding solvent during distillation
Precondition:
R A vacuum pump is connected and running.
R A backfeed tube leading from the glass stopcock to the evaporating flask is fitted.
