The technical data describes the KS 1000 Scrubber, a laboratory device designed to neutralize harmful fumes generated during processes like Kjeldahl digestion. Here's a summary of its features and specifications:

Key Features and Specifications:

• Construction Material: The KS 1000 Scrubber is built with a robust metal structure complemented by durable PVC components, ensuring longevity and resistance to corrosive environments.
• Continuous Operation: The system is designed for continuous operation, providing reliable performance without interruption.
• Flow Regulation: Adjustable up to 25 liters per minute, allowing precise control over the flow rate to meet specific laboratory requirements.
• System Suction Capacity: The suction capacity is adjustable, with a capability to reduce pressure down to 200 mbar absolute, ensuring effective removal of fumes.
• Glass Tank Capacity: Equipped with two 3.5-liter glass tanks, offering sufficient volume for the dilution and neutralization processes.
• Power Input: Operates with a power input of 130 W, ensuring energy-efficient functionality.
• Current Consumption: Draws 500 mA of current, maintaining low energy consumption.
• Weight: The unit weighs 11 kg (24.3 lb), making it relatively easy to handle and position within the laboratory.
• Dimensions: The scrubber's compact dimensions of 315x335x360 mm (12.4x13.2x14.2 inches) make it suitable for integration into laboratory fume hoods, optimizing workspace.

Safety and Efficiency:

• Fume Neutralization Process:
• Dilution: In the right tank, reaction gases are diluted in a water solution, effectively dissolving harmful components like sulfur dioxide.
• Neutralization: In the left tank, gases are neutralized in a sodium hydroxide solution, ensuring maximum efficiency through a wide gas-liquid contact surface.
• Optional Filter: An activated carbon filter can be added for absorbing odors during specific processes like oxidative mineralization.

Design and Usability:

• Space-Saving Design: The KS 1000 Scrubber is engineered to fit seamlessly into fume hoods, complementing VELP's compact semi-automatic and automatic digesters, such as the DK and DKL Series.
• User Interface: The scrubber features an intuitive interface located on top of the instrument, allowing easy operation and control over the four adjustable suction power levels.
• No Tap Water Connection Needed: This eliminates the need for a tap water supply, avoiding potential issues with water pressure and reducing operational constraints.
• High Durability: The use of glass tanks and Viton connection tubes ensures high resistance to chemical wear, enhancing the scrubber's longevity and reducing maintenance needs.
• Easy Maintenance: The innovative design facilitates quick access to all components, making cleaning and maintenance straightforward and efficient.

The KS 1000 Scrubber is a highly efficient and user-friendly device designed to protect laboratory environments from harmful fumes, offering a compact, durable, and low-maintenance solution for fume neutralization.
