Working Principle
The OPX-228 operates on the basic principle of evaporation followed by condensation.
- Water is introduced into the distillation system.
- The built-in bottom heater heats the water.
- Water changes into steam during heating.
- Steam passes through the distillation/condenser assembly.
- The steam is cooled and condensed back into liquid water.
- The resulting distilled water is collected for laboratory use.
Vertical Glass Assembly
The OPX-228 uses a vertical glass assembly designed as per N.P.L. standards, providing a clear and practical arrangement for the distillation process.
The upright design helps reduce the equipment footprint while providing convenient access for observation, cleaning, and routine maintenance.
Built-In Bottom Heater
The integrated bottom heater supplies the heat required to convert water into steam. Consistent heating is essential for maintaining the distillation process and supporting reliable distilled-water production.
Low-Water Cut-Off Protection
The unit is equipped with a low-water cut-off device designed to protect the heater when the water level becomes insufficient. This helps reduce the risk of heater damage caused by operation without adequate water.
Easy Cleaning and Maintenance
The internal surfaces incorporate filleted/smooth profiles, helping minimize difficult-to-clean corners and making routine cleaning more convenient.
Applications
The OPX-228 Vertical Single Stage Water Still is suitable for:
- Research laboratories
- Clinical laboratories
- Pharmaceutical laboratories
- Chemical laboratories
- Microbiology laboratories
- Educational institutions
- Quality-control laboratories
- Industrial laboratories
- Testing facilities
- General laboratory water preparation
Advantages
Space-Saving Vertical Design
The upright configuration requires relatively little bench space and is suitable for laboratories where available working area is limited.
Single-Stage Distillation
The single-stage configuration provides a practical solution for routine distilled-water requirements.
Easy Cleaning
Filleted inner surfaces simplify cleaning and help support convenient routine maintenance.
Heater Protection
The low-water cut-off device provides protection against inadequate-water operation.
Convenient Monitoring
The vertical glass assembly allows visual observation of the distillation process.
Single Stage vs Double Stage
The OPX-228 is the single-stage version. A double-stage water still adds another distillation stage and may be selected where a different purification requirement is specified.
