Diseño y Construcción de un Extractor Sólido-Líquido para la Obtención de Aceite de Semillas de Sambo y Zapallo.

Abstract

"An equipment for Solid Liquid Extraction for btining vegetable os fon he cede of sambo (Curcurbit fifa) aná pumpin (Cucurbita maxima) was designe and buili his equipment will be par of the Unit Operaons Laboratory of he Chemical Engincering School of he Escuela Superior Poltnica de Chimborazo.

An experimental method was conducted for simulatin the solid-liquid extraction process in the Phytopharmacology Laboratory... Through the use of the “Soxhlel” equipment experimental data were obtained: also variables that are involved in this type of extraction. were identified. With these data some engineering calculus were performed for solid-liquid extraction equipment sizing-

Having these data s reference th principal element ol he equipment were chosen as follows: bol pump which has solvent inside; is also located a resistance o 6 000 volts and a thermocouple hat shows the temperature án which the solvent í, an extractor in which alaye is inoduced containing he dey sample to be processed; a condenser wi copperpiing pia forgotng a cool environment o sc solvnt sea; a csterm in which waters added tha vil be sucked by pump o O.S HP (horse power) a il allow water circulaion rough he condenser, a glas visr 10 monitor the extraction proces and a control panel in which is defined the set point of the solvent boiling temperature."
