Thank you @Future
If the only 3phase load is a motor load, you can buy a freq drive that will convert single phase to three phase and just avoid the service upgrade altogether.

Oh shit. Knowledge drop excepted.

It’s a 5hp chiller. Not sure how that would go. Also this is for a licensed manufacturing facility in LA. It can’t be janky

No i believe it was a honest mistake. Someone just entered wrong spec out.
To answer your question to get the full speed you have to take out that much more heat and allow that much more CFM to evacuate etc… The 3hp with vario 12c Is basically what it takes like i mentioned in the resent invoice for the top notch option.
With a basic chiller (bare min) and a 4 head pump you will side-by-side exceed any rotovap on the market. And I’m not talking by a few liters. I mean by alot…
With full transparency you do have to add a considerable amount of ancillary power to take this roto To it’s limit or else it will opperate docile. Not Inna bad way. It kicks off considerable amount of heat to a chiller when opperating at fill tilt. However you can actually add any gear you want. It will just slightly limit it’s performance.
My testing was done with my advertised speeds on a 1.5 and a julabo “1.5” rated chiller. With a 12c vario. The only thing was it pissed the chiller off bad with a 12c on it hitting those speeds 70-80 per hour. The chiller wouldn’t go below 8c so I didn’t want to under sell a customer thinking they would just be pissed off at me. So I’m forthcoming with the comparisons and information.

I think everyone owes this man a round of applause for coming through with the full scoop on the performance of system.
Thank you @spdking for making that right, when our lab is ready we will be calling.
Julabo for the win

if your max roto will hit half (40L per hr) of what you claim, it is worth the money.
With the lesser equipment I mean
I won’t say full scoop until there’s video of it hitting 80L with the recommended ancillieries. But anyway congrats. This is the first summit product I’d consider getting

Of course not, no one would ever argue that it is. The purpose of a bump trap is to mitigate potential consequences, and is absolutely necessary in high speed high production labs. The bump trap is an advancement, which is what my comment was referring to, and to say that this is a reinvention of a rotovap is the opposite of right.
if it works, it works, man.

Cute… That attitude does not in fact drive an industry nor advance processes, technologies or techniques. If that is your approach to this industry, then I get why you are struggling to see the issue I have pointed out.

Our roto doesn’t require a bump trap. It opperates very differently.
Lol it’s my day off bro, stop trying to insult me. I see your point, the bump trap is an advance in rotary evaporation, but this isn’t a rotary evaporator, it’s a MAXroto.

Thank you for the compliment though, I am pretty cute

This is definitely a rotary evaporator

Not saying it doesn’t have benefits, but I personally have never run a roto with a bump trap.
Separately, modifying the vapor path can have incredible effects on the recovery rates. Look at the wizardry of @downtheterphole and his Yellowstone FFE.
I know what the math says but I also know what I’ve seen. There’s a disconnect somewhere. I can’t speak to the claims here, but I wouldn’t automatically ignore them because of some theoretical limitations

Still no videos of any of these claims for SPD or roto vape. They are supposedly posted all over the internet and his IG. But yet can’t be found…
Let’s see these videos man. Post em right here. In this thread. Shouldn’t be hard to do and if it really does it then awesome you possibly created a cool product.

If you run a roto with a constant injection vs filling with diluted feedstock it is far less likely

I am anxious to see the video as well.
That was kind of a joke man.
