2 Safety

The apparatus has been built in accordance with state-of-

the art technology and recognized safety regulations.

Nonetheless risks and dangers can arise from the

apparatus:

• If the apparatus is operated by insufficiently trained

personnel.

• If the apparatus is not used as directed.

2.1 Symbols

Stop

Information on dangers which can lead to serious damage

to property, to severe or life-threatening injuries.

Warning

Information on dangers which can lead to damage to health

or property.

Please note

Information on technical requirements. Noncompliance can

lead to faults, inefficiency and production losses.

2.2 Requirements for the operator

The unit is only to be used by laboratory and specialist

personnel and other persons, who, because of their training

or professional experience, are able to assess the dangers

which can result while operating the equipment.

Personnel without this training or persons who are in training

require thorough instruction. These operating instructions

are the basis.

2.3 Regulation use

The unit is conceived and built as a piece of laboratory

equipment. Its regulation use is the distillation of steam

volatile substances.

2.4 Non-regulation use

Any use other than those listed as well as any use which

does not correspond to the technical data is a misuse. The

operator bears sole risk for eventual damage related to

such use.

In particular the following uses are not allowed:

• operation in explosion-prone areas

• operation with samples that can explode or ignite due to

impact, friction, heat or sparking.

2 Safety

BÜCHI Distillation Unit K-314

2.5 General hazards

General hazards arise from:

• Hot acids and bases

• Combustible gases or vapors in the immediate vicinity

of the apparatus

• Damaged glassware

• Location of the apparatus to close to the wall (see

section 4.1 Set up location)

• Hot surfaces

Except for authorized repair personnel it is forbidden to remove

covers using commercially available tools.

The device must not be put into operation with damaged

glass parts.

Contact with electrically live parts presents a danger to life

and limb!

2.6 Safety measures

The distillation unit K-314 is equipped with a protective

door, which must be closed during operation.

The wearing of personal safety equipment such as safety

glasses, gloves and lllllaboratory coats is necessary.

As a necessary part of the distillation unit K-314, this

instruction manual must at all times be available to the

operating personnel at the location where the apparatus is

being used. This also applies to the further editions in other

languages which may be ordered seperately.

The fusion processing glass must only be removed with

pliers because of danger beeing burnt.

Modifications

Any modifications on the apparatus itself or on replacement

or accessory parts, and any use of replacement or

accessory parts other than those listed in these operating

instructions is permissible only with the express written

approval of Büchi Labortechnik AG.

Responsibilities of the operator

The operator is responsible for providing proper instruction

for his staff. For that purpose, these operating instructions

may also be ordered in other languages.

The operator must inform the manufacturer immediately of

any and all events relevant to product safety that arise

during his operation of the apparatus.

If assuming that a safe operation is not possible any more

the unit must be put out of operation and secured against

unintended further operation.

2 Safety

BÜCHI Distillation Unit K-314

2 Safety

It is to be assumed that a safe operation is not possible

any more

• if the unit is visibly damaged,

• If the unit is not functioning any more

• after long storage under anfavourable conditions,

• after being transported under difficult conditions.

The unit must not be operated with combustible substances.

If you need the assistance of Büchi Service, it is required

to indicate and declare eventually remaining dangerous

substances (e.g., as defined in EC guidelines L 360, 1976/

79 or VBG 16) in or on the apparatus for reason of on-the-

job safety or pollution control.

BÜCHI Distillation Unit K-314

3 Function

The distillation unit K-314 is suitable for determining nitrogen

using the Kjeldahl and Devarda methods..

. Other steam

distillations (e.g., of alcohol) can also be carried out easily.

4 Putting into operation

4.1 Setup location

The distillation unit must be installed on a stable, clean and

flat base.

For reasons of safety, a gap of at least 30 cm must be left

open between the back of the machine and the wall or

other objects. Never place any containers, chemical

products or other equipment behind the distillation unit.

4.2 Unpacking

The original package must be kept for possible later

transport.

If the package has been damaged, check the machine

carefully for broken glass or damage to the housing.

Make certain that the socket voltage is the same as that

shown on the machine nameplate. Always connect the

machine to an earthed (grounded) socket. This avoids risks

due to an internal defect.

4.3 Water supply

The distillation unit K-314 is delivered with 3 Nyflex high-

pressure hoses intended for the following connections:

• cooling water inlet

•H

2O supply tank

• NaOH supply tank

Connect the cooling water connector to the mains water tap.

The standard sleeve nut has an R 1/2” thread (Fig. 4).

Accessories:

Reducer 1/2" 3/8" Art.No. 11289

Reducer 1/2" 3/4" Art.No. 11290

Cooling water inlet (1):

Shorten the Nyflex hose to the optimum length, connect it

to the water connector, and secure it with a hose clamp.

Connect the other end of the hose to the cooling water

inlet nipple.

Cooling water outlet (2):

Shorten the silicone hose [9/6 mm] to the optimum length

and connect it to the cooling water oulet nipple (OUT

nipple). Direct the open end into the drain.

Check

The cooling water must flow through the cooling unit from

the bottom to the top.

Make sure that the hose drains freely. No kinks! No airtraps

in the hose!

4.4 Drain hose (3)

Make sure that the hose drains freely. No kinks! No airtraps

in the hose!

4.5 Connection of the supply tanks

• Connect the Nyflex hose to the flow-through tube

• Unscrew the small tank cap and stick it on the flow-

through tube

• Insert the flow-through tube with the tank cap on into

the tank until it reaches the stop

• Tighten the tank cap

• Connect the hose from the water tank to the K-314

(H2O nipple)

• Connect the hose from the sodium hydroxide tank to

the K-314 (NaOH nipple

• Fix the hose nozzle in place on the large tank cap.

The supply tanks must not be any higher than the unit

itself, nor any lower than 1 meter below it.

5.2 Control elements and their function

I / O After switching on the distillation unit, it takes

about 90 seconds before the unit is ready for

operation.

Before switching on, check that the supply tanks

and/or the hoses are filled with reagents.

NaOH Sodium hydroxide adding switch.

The alkali is dosed in as long as the switch is

pressed.

Steam Steam on / off.

Switching the distillation on and off manually.

5 Operation

5.3 Start-up checklist

The first time that the distillation unit is started up, there is

a penetrating odor. This smell, however, is of no importance.

It occurs when the heater pipe and the isolation become

warm. No overheating of the steam generator is possible.

5.4 Supply tanks

Fill the supply tanks. This can be done, for example, using

a bent funnel (Item No. 16662) or a footpump. The reagents

are forwarded within the K-314 unit by suction.

To ensure optimum long-time operation, the steam generator

must only be operated on distillated or deionized water!

Advantages:

1. No cleaning of the steam generator is necessary

2. The blank values can be kept under control.

Never supply the steam generator from a building distilled

water distribution pipe!

5.5 Rubber bung and PTFE hose

Check that the rubber bung and the PTFE hose are still properly

fitted, especially after they have been subjected to stresses

during transport or otherwise.

Mounting instruction:

If the PTFE hose has become loose, hold it with a piece of

sandpaper and refit it without kinking.
