Distillation of Petroleum Products at Reduced Pressure

The Koehler (USA) VDS3000 Manual Vacuum Distillation System is the latest design for determining, at reduced pressures, the range of boiling points for petroleum products according to ASTM D1160 and related specifications.

The main body of the system or cabinet is composed of an aluminum frame and cold rolled steel walls. The base of the cabinet houses a 5 Liter Stainless Steel Surge Tank to reduce pressure fluctuations during testing. The control unit of the system features a versatile, compact, modern design.

Dual temperature displays independently show both the overhead and flask temperature of the system, whislt a built in cooling fan rapidly cools the distilling flask allowing the user to handle glassware and shorten turnaround time in between test runs. The VDS3000 Manual Vacuum Distillation System is fully equipped with complete glassware set and accessories kit for “Turn-Key” installation and operation of the Vacuum Distillation System.
