Polestar Cold Trap

The PoleStar cold trap has been designed to meet the most demanding requirements of the evaporation process and to ensure the highest flexibility for the condensation or solvent recovery of solvents.

The closed loop cooling system cools the cooling coils down to –50°C. This ensures that all solvents condense on the coils protecting the vacuum pump. The cooling coils plus the chamber is PTFE coated for maximum chemical resistance. The cold trap has a special rapid defrost mode, which allows the removal of a 5 mm layer of ice within a few seconds. This can be activated by a key on the front of the instrument or automatically (option) by the CombiDancer.

The PoleStar has a capacity of 3.3 liter (fluid) for solvent recovery. A stopcock located on the front of the instrument permits easy draining of the solvents. This cold trap is practically maintenance-free, only the fins at the back of the instrument have to be kept clean from dust deposit.
