The Kjeldahl nitrogen analyzer (protein analyzer) is an automated nitrogen-determination distillation system based on the Kjeldahl method. It is suitable for analysis, teaching, and research applications across sectors such as grain and oil testing, feed analysis, plant nutrient testing, soil and fertilizer analysis, environmental protection, pharmaceuticals, and the chemical industry.

Common Faults and Troubleshooting Methods for Kjeldahl Apparatus:
No. | Faults | Causes | Solutions |
1 | The entire instrument has no power. | Power cord not plugged in properly | Plug in the power cord properly |
2 | The water level in the distillation flask has reached the required level, but no steam is being generated, and the heating indicator light is not lit. | The heating controller is faulty, or there is a problem with the wiring between the heating controller and the distillation flask. | 1. Check the wiring for loose connections. 2. Replace the heating controller. |
3 | It cannot add alkali | 1. The alkali solution level in the tank is too low for the suction pipe to draw the liquid; 2. The alkali dosing solenoid valve is malfunctioning (failing to open properly) or the pipeline is blocked; 3. The alkali pump is not operating. | 1. Add the prepared alkaline solution to the alkaline solution tank; 2. Clean or replace the solenoid valve; 3. Replace the alkaline pump. |
4 | It cannot add boric acid | 1. The alkali solution level in the tank is too low for the suction pipe to draw the liquid; 2. The alkali pump is not operating. | 1. Add the prepared alkaline solution to the alkaline solution tank; 2. Replace the alkaline pump. |
5 | It cannot replenish water | 1. The alkali solution level in the tank is too low for the suction pipe to draw the liquid; 2. The alkali pump is not operating. | 1. Add the prepared alkaline solution to the alkaline solution tank; 2. Replace the alkaline pump. |
6 | It cannot drain completely or fails to drain fully | Distillation tube detached or gas delivery tube damaged | Reconnect distillation tube; replace gas delivery tube |
7 | Steam generator pressure relief valve opens | Excessive steam pressure or steam valve not open; | Lower steam grade / check lines or replace steam valve |
8 | Experiment aborted. | 1. Temperature of the condensed distillate is too high; 2. Safety door is not closed; | 1. Increase the condensate flow rate or reduce the steam power; 2. Close the safety door. |
9 | Failure of normal operation | Pump failure, solenoid valve failure | Immediately turn off the power, restart, enter the debugging interface, and perform debugging. |
