Semi‑automated atmospheric distillation analyzer AZA1285

The AZA1285 is equipped with a low-voltage, manually adjustable heater combined with PID-controlled condenser and receiver sections, ensuring stable distillation rates and accurate thermal management throughout the test cycle. The system incorporates a closed-loop, CFC-free refrigeration unit, providing efficient condensation without reliance on external cooling water or environmentally harmful refrigerants.

A built-in inert gas purge system enhances operational safety by allowing controlled nitrogen or inert gas injection, reducing oxidation risks and ensuring compliance with laboratory safety protocols.
