Thermo Savant RVT400-230 Refrigerated Vapor Trap – RVT400 Series
In any laboratory or industrial vacuum system, unprotected vacuum pumps are constantly exposed to solvent vapors, moisture, and corrosive gases. Without an effective vapor trap in line, these contaminants migrate directly into the pump oil, causing rapid degradation, costly maintenance cycles, and unplanned downtime that can halt critical processes—from lyophilization runs to rotary evaporation and vacuum distillation. The consequences range from ruined pump seals to complete pump failure, with replacement costs far exceeding the price of proper protection.
The Thermo Savant RVT400-230 is a refrigerated vapor trap engineered to eliminate this risk at the source. As part of the proven RVT400 Series, this unit occupies a key position in Thermo Scientific’s laboratory vacuum protection lineup—offering a balance of cooling capacity, trap volume, and compact footprint that makes it the preferred choice for mid-scale vacuum systems worldwide. Designed for 230V electrical environments, it serves laboratories across Europe, Asia, and other regions operating on international power standards, making it a globally deployed component in analytical and process vacuum circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What is the difference between the RVT400-230 and other RVT400 variants?
- A: The primary distinction is the input voltage. The RVT400-230 is configured for 230V operation, making it suitable for international markets. Other variants may be configured for 115V (North American standard). The core refrigeration and vapor trapping performance is equivalent across voltage variants.
- Q: Can the RVT400-230 be used with any vacuum pump?
- A: The RVT400-230 is compatible with most rotary vane and diaphragm vacuum pumps used in laboratory settings. Compatibility depends on inlet/outlet fitting dimensions and the vacuum level of your system. Contact us to confirm compatibility with your specific pump model.
- Q: What solvents can the RVT400-230 trap effectively?
- A: The unit is effective at capturing common laboratory solvents including ethanol, methanol, acetone, isopropanol, water vapor, and other volatile organic compounds. Performance depends on solvent vapor pressure and system operating vacuum level.
- Q: Is the part number 0020-20292 the same as E17317990?
- A: Yes. Both 0020-20292 and E17317990 are valid OEM part number references for the Thermo Savant RVT400-230. They may appear on different documentation versions or regional catalogs but refer to the same unit.
- Q: What is the lead time for the RVT400-230?
- A: Lead time varies based on current stock levels. Please submit an inquiry for a real-time availability and lead time confirmation. We typically respond within 1 business day.
