Operating Manual
Rotary evaporators (rotovaps) are ubiquitous devices in chemistry labs and industries performing chemistry,
including labs in the chemical, pharmaceutical, environmental, materials, life science, and cannabis industries.
Rotovaps consist of a heating uid bath, rotating motor, evaporating ask, condenser, collection ask, and
vacuum source. Traditional rotovap condensers require external sources of cooling materials such as dry ice,
liquid nitrogen, water or glycol. Glycol requires additional recirculating chiller equipment, which are often bulky,
heavy, and inecient. The traditional rotovap for decades have also been characterized with inecient vapor
condensing, operational cost, unreliability, high energy consumption and material waste.
Using a proprietary and innovative self-cooling technology, Ecodyst has revolutionized the rotovap to be more
ecient, to have a smaller footprint, to have greater output, and to be less costly to operate as compared with
traditional rotovaps. This disruptive technology has set new standards worldwide for rotary evaporators.
Ecodyst’s green condenser technology does not require an external source of cooling materials, eliminating
the major sources of material waste associated with rotovaps. Ecodyst’s devices are equipped with intelligent
self-cooling condenser technology that is extremely ecient at condensing vapors. This technology is
environmentally friendly, energy ecient, reliable and sustainable. Additionally, the condenser achieves
rapid cool down (reaches -40oC in 60 seconds) and is always-available, which eliminates downtime, increases
productivity, and saves time and money.

Hydrogen
Reduce electricity consumption by over 50%, never have to change chiller uids again, and dramatically
decrease your run times! Ecodyst’s Hydrogen is a high performance, self-cooling rotary evaporator with a
compact footprint. The eco-friendly, energy-ecient, sustainable rotovap uses a built-in condenser which
eliminates the need for glycol, dry ice or water while massively reducing coolant pull-down times.
By eliminating coolant and cutting electricity use by more than half, the Hydrogen delivers substantial operating
cost savings. By combining the functions of a recirculating chiller and a rotary evaporator in the same compact
body, what would ordinarily take two pieces of equipment is done with just one, saving precious lab space while
eliminating messy tubing and leaks.
Tired of waiting for your chiller to get cold? With the Ecodyst, the condenser is cold almost immediately. The
condenser will cool to -10°C in just one minute, or all the way to -35°C in ve minutes.

EcoChyll X3
Engineered for high-speed solvent evaporation and recovery in small- to medium-sized laboratories, the
EcoChyll®X3 is a robust cooling system for chemical, botanical, and other extractions. Using the pioneering
EcoChyll®direct cooling technology, the X3 bridges the gap between small-footprint, benchtop rotary
evaporators and our larger, higher-capacity EcoChyll evaporators. With a true 12 L capacity and compact form
factor, it holds more solvent than a “20 L” rotary evaporator while having a faster evaporation rate and much
shorter total run time.
The EcoChyll®X3 is routinely used downstream of botanical extractions via BHO, CO2, or ethanol. With twin
metallic condenser coils, the EcoChyll®X3 carries out continuous direct-cooling of incoming vapors in an
ecient and environmentally-friendly manner. No glycol or other coolant is necessary, start-up times are far
shorter, and total energy usage is less than half. EcoChyll®evaporators also free up operator time due to low-
intervention requirements. Because the evaporation ask is stirred rather than rotating, residual product can
simply be drained from a valve. The EcoChyll X3 can also be set up for more complete process automation,
saving time and money without compromising the quality of your results.

EcoChyll X5
Designed for process scientists on a budget who cannot sacrice quality, the EcoChyll® X5 is an extremely
ecient alternative to all existing evaporative technologies. Compared to 20 L rotary evaporators from major
manufacturers, the EcoChyll X5 provides over twice the capacity at a substantially lower cost. The patented
direct cooling technology, direct heat, and stirred evaporation ask all contribute to dramatically lower energy
consumption, without requiring a drop of glycol or other coolant uid, signicantly reducing your operating
costs while increasing your recovery rates.
With a true 22 L capacity and a small footprint, it is a premium compromise between cost and convenience.
Our cost-competitive evaporator comes as a turn-key solution for solvent recovery and decarboxylation. The
EcoChyll® X5 automates the vapor cooling process to free-up user time for other operations, while reducing run
time due to faster evaporation rates and signicantly shorter start-up time. This method is now the preferred
solution for evaporation in a wide range of botanical extraction applications.

When you cannot compromise on solvent recovery, you need the EcoChyll® X7.
Built for industrial-scale evaporation, the EcoChyll® X7 high speed evaporator from Ecodyst combines high
loading capacities with rapid continuous cooling for ecient and fast solvent recovery. Courtesy of proprietary
intelligent direct self-cooling condensers, the EcoChyll® X7 high cooling capacity and large surface area
condensers can reliably condense large volume of solvents. Tired of waiting almost an hour for your chiller to
get to temperature? The EcoChyll X7 can reach -40°C in just a few minutes. Never have to bother with glycol or
other coolants again!
Our industrial-scale rotary vacuum evaporator is a turn-key solvent recovery system trusted by chemists and
botanical extraction processors in both research and commercial laboratory settings. Based on innovative
self-cooling technology, our smart cooling system is both eco-friendly and ecient, cutting your electricity
consumption by half! The EcoChyll® X7 continuous cooling system is guaranteed to increase productivity for
high throughput solvent recovery and decarboxylation applications while keeping user safety and usability at
the forefront of all botanical extraction applications.
Unlike a 20 liter rotary evaporator, which holds only about 10L of product, the stirred, upright 22L EcoChyll X7
has a true 22L capacity!
Ecodyst was established with the aim of improving on the performance of standard laboratory rotary
evaporators (rotovaps), setting a new benchmark for performance in extractions and solvent recovery across
chemical, pharmaceutical, cannabis, and other industries. The EcoChyll® X7 rotary vacuum evaporator delivers
on that promise for the industrial-scale scientist, providing a scalable modular solution that performs on
numerous key fronts for the budget-conscious operator.
If you require a budget-friendly evaporator, consider our single condenser EcoChyll® X5, available in sizes of 22
liters and 50 liters.
