Alot of you have heard me talk about efficient cold traps made from stainless over the time. You have also heard me talk about inneficient designs that prevent dry vacuum from operating properly and require ancillary hardware all around it and still don’t provide.
Some of you have been excessively lied to about stainless cold trap abilities.
Some of you have been taken advantage of and bought stuff that just didn’t do the trick.
Summit had released a product that is exactly as the name says.
Drier vacuum. Lower vacuum. Lower distillation temps. Insane speed increases. Better colors. Tighter fractions. Higher potency. And over all faster process.
Just as it implies this is a stainless steel inverted cup accelerator cold trap. Extremely compact. Highly complex internals. Born from the patented summit cold trap technology and delivered for liquid nitrogen useage.
If anyone is interested they come with optional sight glass that can be removed and capped off. These are the traps summit showed off for Vegas. They are avail and are affordable. Please call summit if you are interested. I’m not on here to sell them. I’m here to answer questions. Posted are some configurations. I will be making a detailed video and showing a cut away model on a YouTube video later on when time permits.
At vacuum this is a non issue. Plenty of vacuum system manufactures run cold traps at these temps. See Alcatel/labconco/thermo savant etc. When you own a $20k pump and start running halocarbons, you will want a trap that cold
What’s happening is conductive vacuum. Something that cold begins to suck down the inlet throat considerably and attract molecules to the surface. It’s actually extremely violent from my earlier experiences with glass and ln2. The trapping effect and components inside become so cold that the extensive surface area and mechanics protect the pump and increases speeds. You should probably have a trap before it. You don’t want to use this in a ln2 config on its own after the discharge on the spd.
