The idea of this apparatus with built-in Fire-Extinguisher is to create a modular system, which can be up-graded on demand with Tempering Unit, PC or Printer.

Its characteristics are:

• Volume detection by solid light barrier system
• Fire-Extinguisher (CO₂ or N₂).
• Only an external cooling system of small capacity is demanded
• Small receiver tempering chamber!
• General supply of PC-Software   ADUcon & ADUpro
• LIMS connection is possible

Recommended Extensions:

• Computer (MS Windows® compatible) for the ADU is highly recommended. Programs will be automatically stored, temperature/volume spread sheets and graphics are available.
• Printer (if no PC is used) for a numerical printout of results. The temperatures of  5 vol.% and the important values will be printed without graphics.
• Dry-Point Detection requires sensor according flask size
• Spare Part Set for approx. 12 months operation

Required Accessories:

• Glassware for other standards than ASTM D 86 (Group 1-4)
• Dry-Point Sensor
• External Tempering System
  to assure an ADU working range of 0 to +80 °C available as:
  automatic & ADU 4 controlled version (with RS232-interface) for distillation group 0-4 or group 1-4 & solvents
  manual, low cost version for distillation group 1-4 & solvents

ADU 4 - Automatic Distillation Unit

With the included accessories suitable for:
