The Cooling Jacketed Reactor Generally speaking, the glass reactor may include many different types including glass lined reactor, high pressure reactor, glass reactor system and so on. Please see it: www.toption-china.com/reactors-and -instrume nts/chemical-synthesis-reac tor-series. It is said that it is an ideal device in model syntheses chemicals, biological pharmaceutical, and scientifically institute. Actually, this equipment plays an important role in many ways. Among these different reactors, the jacketed reactor is the most famous. And it is often referred under many situations. For the cooling reactors, they have important effects and functions. Firstly, the chemical reaction can release heat and this energy may cause the temperature of the material in the vessel to rise. As temperature rises, the conversion of feed may make product proceed faster and lead to the release of even more heat. In addition, the can increase the rate of reaction that produces even more heat to stop the upward spiral of hotter temperatures. And the vessel is enclosed with a jacket. Moreover, this liquid may collect heat energy from the outer surface of the reactor vessel and carry it away as the cooling liquid exits at the jacket outlet when a cooling liquid flows through the jacket. Meanwhile, more heat is removed when the flow of cooling liquid through the jacket increases. On the contrary, this equipment can lower the reactor temperature by slowing the rate of the reaction. Meanwhile, it is also able to decrease the amount of feed converted to product during passage through the reactor. However, some of the energy from the heat-producing reaction accumulates in the vessel when the flow of cooling liquid through the jacket decreases. It can drive the reactor temperature higher rather than being carried away with the cooling liquid. Meanwhile, the result is an increased conversion of reactant feed to product. And the flow rate of cooling liquid may be adjusted with a valve on the cooling jacket outlet stream.
