SEMI-AUTOMATED ATMOSPHERIC DISTILLATION ANALYZER AZA1285

The AZA1285 Semi-Automated Atmospheric Distillation Analyzer is a precision-engineered laboratory instrument designed for determining the distillation characteristics of petroleum products, fuels, solvents, and volatile organic liquids under atmospheric conditions. Developed for accurate boiling-range profiling and dependable laboratory performance, the AZA1285 combines manual operational flexibility with intelligent thermal regulation for highly repeatable and standards-compliant testing.

The system features a low-voltage manually adjustable heater integrated with PID-controlled condenser and receiver sections, ensuring stable distillation rates and accurate thermal management throughout the test cycle. A closed-loop, CFC-free refrigeration system provides efficient condensation without requiring external cooling water, while an integrated inert gas purge system enhances operator safety and minimizes oxidation risks during testing.
