◆ If steam escapes from the connection, check the corresponding seal and
replace if necessary.
2.3.2 High internal pressure
High internal pressure may be created in the vial or in the condenser through the
evaporation of the liquid. Excessive pressure may cause the glass parts to explode. Please
make sure that the vacuum pump and condensing unit are working properly to use this
equipment.
2.3.3 Hot surfaces and liquid
The cover plate , water bath box and sample bottles maybe become very hot . Contact with these
parts may cause skin burns.
2.3.4 broken glass
Broken glass can cause cuts.
◆ The collection bottle and other glass parts must be handled with care and
must not be fall.
◆ Before each use, visually inspect whether the appearance of the glass parts is in
good condition.
◆ Damaged glass parts shall not be used.
◆ Remove broken glass only when wearing protective cut-resistant gloves.
2.3.5 Failure in operation
Sharp edges or exposed wires can cause injury if the equipment is damaged.
◆ Check the equipment regularly for damage;
◆ In case of failure, immediately shut down the equipment, cut off the power
supply and notify the operator.
◆ Do not continue to use damaged equipment.
2.3.6 Personal Protective Equipment
Due to different application, hazards can be created for high temperatures, glass breakage
and aggressive chemicals.
◆ When using and maintaining the equipment, we must wear appropriate
protective equipment such as goggles, protective clothing and gloves .
◆ Ensure that protective equipment meets the requirements in the safety data
sheets for each chemical used.

6
2.3.7 Retrofit
◆ Equipment changes not approved by the manufacturer may affect safety and
lead to accidents.
◆ Only use accessories and spare parts and consumable materials provided by the
manufacturer.
◆ Technical changes to equipment or accessories can only be made with the prior
written approval of Beijing MRC Co., Ltd. and only by authorized MRC Co., Ltd.

Note: The concentrated samples should not contain solvents that dissolve, swell, and
corrode PEEK, PTFE, glass, and perfluoroether rubber, otherwise the equipment will be
seriously damaged, and the risk will be borne by the user.
This equipment is mainly applied in the field of organic analysis and testing, which
equipped with a vacuum pump and a condensing device to heat and concentrate batch
liquid samples in a decompressed environment. RovaP- series vacuum parallel evaporator
provides users with rich functions;
◆ Sample heating

8
Sample heated by controlling waterbathtemperaturetoaccelerateconcentrationof sample;
Vacuum control
Accelerates sample concentration by controlling the vacuum inside sample bottle.
Meanwhile the equipment has function of vacuum gradient control, so that vacuum
degree can gradually approaches target value, preventing the vacuum degree from
rising too fast , resulting in the sample to boil
Vacuum lock function
If sample heating temperature is known, but vacuum parameters are unknown,
equipment can run first, when there have drip liquid in condensation system ,quickly
press vacuum lock button on LCD touch screen,and vacuum degree will be locked in
current suitable value
Sample preheating
when sample preheating model is enabled, vacuum pump must be start after sample is
preheated according to set time value, avoiding sample explosive boiling
Cover plate heating
Cover plate can be heated according to set temperature, to avoid steam
condensation ,resulting in poor vacuum degree and liquid reflux
Sample oscillation
Sample in the evaporating flask can be vortexed according to the set rotation speed,
which can avoid the bumping of the sample and increase surface area of sample to
achieve purpose of accelerating concentration
Cover plate automatic locking
After equipment running, press down handle of cover plate, the cover plate can be
automatically latched and locked, which can simply seal the cover plate and the sample
bottle mouth. When equipment stop running, vacuum degree drops to about 900mbar,
the locking device inactivates automatically to easily taken out sample bottle
Automatic filling water
Press water replenishment button on touch screen to fill water bath by RovaP-SERIES
