HIGH VACUUM ROTARY

High fractionating capac­ity under Ήϊφ Vacuum creates new possibilities for the separation of liquids of high boiling point.

The unique principles of the centrifugal condenser type still are illus­trated above. Rising vapor from the pot condenses on the cooled rotating cylinder. Condensate is then hurled off the condenser surface by centrifugal force and re-vaporized from the heated column. This cycle is repeated many times as the vapor moves up the annular space between the column and condenser, setting up a concentration gradient, with the more volatile com­ponents at the top where they are removed.

For the first time, equipment of great fractionating ability has been
