Continuously running reactors are tubular reactors. They make it possible to produce goods in big volumes and at a constant level of quality. This equipment series that enables research with various reactor types includes the CRE-3305-05. Examining the operation and behavior of a tubular reactor is possible in conjunction with supply unit CRE-3305. The supply unit CRE-3305 is equipped with a heating water circuit, all required connections, pumps, reactant tanks, and a product tank. The supply unit is used to mount the CRE-3305-05, which is secured in place by two pins. The reactor may be quickly and easily connected to the supply unit using quick-release connections. The reactants are delivered into the reactor individually through each nozzle by the two pumps of the supply unit.
The two reactants are combined in the T-center pieces due to the placement of the nozzle outlets. The two reactants are introduced into the mixture, which then enters the helical tube. After leaving the tube, the combination of product and unconverted reactants is carried into a tank of the supply unit. By varying the speed of the pumps on the supply unit, the retention duration of the reactants in the tubular reactor can be changed. The water bath also houses the tube. The supply unit’s heating water circuit is connected to the water bath, allowing the user to test the effect of temperature on the response. The conductivity is measured to ascertain the conversion in the tubular reactor. The CRE-3305 has a conductivity/temperature sensor that is combined. Temperature and conductivity are digitally shown.
