General description
Safe, maintenance-free air-driven pumping systems for filtering and degassing mobile phases. PIAB Lab Vac air-driven pumping systems can be used for filtration, degassing, rotary evaporation, and many other laboratory applications.
Lab Vac units are desingned for safe, quiet, efficient, virtually maintenance-free operation. There is no oil to change and no electric motor to spark or wear out.
The Lab Vac has a multi-stage, ejector-style vacuum pump that creates vacuum by passing compressed air through a series of 5 nozzles. As the air passes from one nozzle to the next, a vacuum is created around the nozzle in each successive chamber, like in a water aspirator. Standard moving parts are made from ethylene-propylene diene monomer (EPDM), and are designed for long life.
In Supelco laboratories, we have used PIAB vacuum systems for several years with NO maintenance required. Note that we recommend installing a solvent trap in the vacuum line, to avoid drawing solvent vapors into the Lab Vac unit. Add a 40 μm particle filter if your air supply might contain particulate matter and/or a 0-100 psi pressure regulator if there is no pressure regulation on your air supply.
Each unit includes an inlet pressure gauge and a vacuum gauge, mounted on the unit. A selection of PIAB High Speed (quick-connect) fittings are included, to enable you to connect the unit to a variety of tubing sizes. Nipple-style adapters are included for use with vacuum tubing (not included). Also included are 6 feet (1.8 meters) of compressed air hose, 1 foot (0.3 meter) of vacuum tubing, and hose clamps for easy connection to your laboratory compressed air supply (with or without the optional in-line pressure regulator). Screws for wall mounting also are included.
