IMPORTANT: IF CHLORINATED SOLVENTS ARE TO BE RECOVERED, YOU MUST USE THE
WORKING TEMPERATURES GIVEN IN THE ACCEPTABLE DISTILLATION SOLVENTS
TABLE. WORKING WITH A HIGHER TEMPERATURE COULD RESULT IN FORMATION OF
HYDROCHLORIC ACID. THIS CHEMICAL REACTION COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO BOTH
THE VESSEL AS WELL AS THE CONDENSER, BOTH MADE OUT OF STAINLESS STEEL.
THIS WOULD VOID ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES.
