Description

STARDist Lite

Semi-automatic distillation unit for manual distillation testing

Built with the same hardware components as its fully automatic brother STARDist, the Lite version is meant for those looking for the best quality available in a manual distillation instrument.

Make: Orbis BV         I             P/No. 914000

Besides outstanding quality, STARDist Lite’s key features are the modern touch-screen interface for Heater/Condenser control and calibration, as well as the solid state cooling system that is electronically controlled (Peltiers) and does not contain any liquids, pumps and valves.

Benefits of the built-in solid state condenser cooling unit include:

  • Easy operation, no water or ice filling
  • Fast cooling interactions powerful Peltier elements for quick cooling or heating of condenser
  • Accurate temperature according to method
  • Ramping mode to prevent both evaporation loss and waxing within one distillation
  • Reliable configuration no liquids or moving parts: maintenance friendly
  • Built-in; small instrument footprint
  • CFC free

The low mass/low voltage heater is equipped with a reflection system that provides a 30% increase of heat efficiency!

Hardware

Based on the cabinet of the fully automatic distillation unit STARDist, STARDist Lite is built with the same high quality hardware, and equipped with many of STARDist’s advanced features such as the solid state condenser unit, low mass/low voltage heating system, automatic heater lift, double fans for fast heater cooling, built-in touch screen and the operator friendly flask installer.

Automation

Programmable condenser temperature settings (including “ramp-up” function)
and programmable initial heat settings make for a more hands-off approach and increase the repeatability of distillation behaviour and results. The automatic heater lift and heater cooling increase the operator-ease even further.

About AirProbe D86

AirProbe is a compact device that fits onto a PT-100 temperature probe. It communicates over bluetooth with a free iOS app that lets users monitor and control the distillation test and record temperature, speed and run-time at predefined volume points. Custom test programs are easily created, and the iPod can store up to 20.000 test results.

Built-in barometer –Temperature data are corrected to atmospheric pressure directly from AirProbe’s built-in barometer

Technical specifications

Methods

ASTM D86, D1078, D850, E123, IP195, DIN51751, ISO 3405, GOST 2177, JIS K2254.

User interface

iPod with STARDist Lite application. Available in App Store. App & updates are free of charge.

Flask Installer

Ensures easy and correct upright flask positioning for both 125 ml and 200 ml flasks. The vapor probe’s height position relative to the flask’s side arm is always correct thanks to the vapor probe design in combination with the strict flask dimensions.

Heating control

Manual control through touch screen or automated from preset program optimization.

Heating system

Low mass/low voltage heater. 2 user adjustable fans for extra fast cooling after test. Automatic heater lift with correct flask pressure & positioning. Automatic shut-off in case of fire.

Condenser cooling

Solid state: based on Peltier elements with heat-pipe assisted heat sinks and silent fans for heat dissipation. No liquids involved. Condenser temperature can be increased during the distillation to deal with “light start / heavy end” products to prevent both evaporation loss and product waxing in the condenser tube. Temperature range: 0 – 65°C. Resolution 0.1°C.

Residue & Loss

Manual measurement or preset. Loss correction is automatically applied to temperature readings.

Vapor temperature measurement

Standard: Mercury 7C or 8C thermometer (not supplied by Orbis BV).
AirProbe D86 upgrade: PT-100 class A probe with 10-point calibration data storage and automatic probe ID detection. True dynamic simulation of ASTM 7 & 8 in-glass thermometer behavior (lag time and emergent stem).
Resolution: 0.01 oC. Range: 0 – 450°C on ASTM and 0 – 500°C on absolute.

Pressure

Built-in pressure sensor. Automatic correction of temperature results to atmospheric pressure. Range: 70 to 110 kPa, resolution 0.1 kPa.

Fire safety*

UV sensor for fire detection. Built-in fire extinguisher. N or CO2 supply required from lab (connection hose is supplied). *Requires ordering the additional Fire Extinguisher.

System health

Automatic quick system health check before every test to ensure all components are in excellent state.

Dimensions

STARDist Lite Features

Condenser Cooling

Liquid-free condenser cooling equipped with peltier elements and heat-pipe assisted heat sinks ensures powerful and maintenance friendly operation. Temperature “ramp up” function to prevent wax forming in the condenser tube when testing heavy products.

Touch screen interface

STARDist Lite is equipped with a touch screen (iPod Touch) that lets users control the heater lift, heater power, condenser temperature and fans for heater cooling. In combination with the AirProbe D86 digital temperature sensor it offers a wide range of functions for semi- automatic D86 testing.

Flask Installer

The simple and elegant flask holder design ensures easy and correct positioning of the distillation flask for both 125 ml and 200 ml flasks. Moreover it ensures that the probe‘s height in relation to the flask’s side arm is always correct.

Heater

The low mass / low voltage heater provides accurate and powerful heating control, both for situations where more as well as where less heat is to be applied quickly.

Fire Extinguisher

Sensitive UV fire detection sensor and connection to N / CO2 for built-in fire extinguisher.

Automatic Heater Lift

The new automatic heater lift applies the correct upward pressure to the flask and shortens the after-test
cooling period by automatically lowering the heater when the test is finished.

Advanced diagnostics

The instrument is equipped with software for advanced diagnostics and settings for service and maintenaince. Options include: monitoring mains voltages sine wave, fuse protection setting, diagnostics for heater, condenser, internal sensors and more.

Fast Heater Cooling

2 adjustable and powerful fans ensure quick heater and flask cooling after the test is finished.

*Requires additional AirProbe D86 kit
