Binder VDL115-230V Standard Series Vacuum Drying Chambers, for Flammable Solvents, 115 L; 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz from Cole-Parmer

" Vacuum ovens are ideal for drying of all thermolabile substances, powders, and pastes, as well as for materials that contain solvents. The VDL series ovens dry potentially explosive substances containing solvents. The pressure-encapsulated instrument box, preheating chamber, and associated heating elements use compressed air to prevent solvent vapors from entering the electrical zone. In the case of a pressure reduction in the instrument box, the unit undergoes an all-polarity-disconnect to safely avoid ignition sources. An additional flame protection gasket reliably extinguishes explosion flames preventing spreading to the area outside the unit. VDL series ovens can also be enhanced with optional explosion-proof chemical-membrane pump and differential pressure switch for controlling oven pressure. These ovens feature the patented APT.Line* preheating chamber technology, engineered to ensure all temperature-related tasks such as heating, drying, and sterilizing are conducted exactly the same each time, reliably and quickly. The inner chamber is made of electro polished Type 316 stainless steel with rounded edges and internally welded seams for easy cleaning. The interior is completely tempered preventing condensation and ensuring moisture deposits will not impair drying results. This preheating chamber allows all connecting tubes to the inner chamber to be subjected to the heating process reducing the risk of condensation in the inner chamber. High-quality insulation reduces heat dissipation, which contributes to an active reduction in ambient temperature and avoids the need for additional air conditioning in the lab. Ovens feature pressure-resistant construction and a spring-mounted VDE-tested safety glass panel with splinter protection from explosion or implosion. The aluminum shelves offer excellent thermal connection to the chamber walls, providing defined and reproducible temperature conditions for all samples, and safe direct temperature transfer without el
