Short path distillation operates at temperatures ranging from 212°F to 482°F, with specific components like the chiller maintaining a temperature of 122°F to prevent clogging and facilitate efficient vapor condensation.
Temperature Range in Short Path Distillation: The temperature in short path distillation varies significantly, typically from 212°F to 482°F. This wide range accommodates different boiling points of various compounds being distilled, ensuring minimal thermal stress and optimal separation of heat-sensitive products.
Role of the Chiller: The chiller in short path distillation is crucial for maintaining a specific temperature, not for cooling to solidify substances. It operates at around 122°F (50°C), which is essential for preventing clogging in the system. This temperature is also sufficient to recondense vapors effectively, ensuring that the distillation process remains efficient and uninterrupted.
Process Efficiency and Gentle Treatment: The design of short path distillation, with its low process pressures and short path evaporators, allows for gentle thermal treatment of high-boiling and heat-sensitive products. The low evaporation temperature and short residence time minimize thermal stress on the product, preserving its quality and integrity during the distillation process.
Condensation and Temperature Management: In short path distillation, the condenser temperature is typically set between 40°C and 60°C, with a preference for 50°C (122°F) as a starting point. This temperature is chosen to ensure that vapors are easily recondensed without the need for extreme cooling, thus maintaining the efficiency of the distillation process and preventing any potential clogging issues.
