The glass reactor installation is very simple, you can refer to the instructions to install it yourself. The following is a video of our company's technicians installing glass reactors to help users better install glass reactors.
After the glass reactor vessel is installed, it is the use step. Here we will answer some common questions that will appear in the use of glass reactors, I hope to help you.
Where double-layer glass reactors are easy to be ignored by users:
1. Thermal insulation medium
Due to the small thickness of the interlayer in the middle of the double glass reactor, it has poor thermal insulation performance. In the process of using high temperature and low temperature, it is necessary to use a thermal insulation material to protect the body. Both the reactor body and the liquid-conducting tube need to be wrapped with thermal insulation materials, and the thickness of the thermal insulation layer must be paid attention to ensure a good thermal insulation effect.
2. Selection of temperature control medium
According to the required reaction temperature, a temperature-controlling medium of different properties is selected as the heat propagation medium for the reaction. For low temperature, choose ice-ethanol bath; for normal temperature, choose water bath; for high temperature, choose oil bath.
When using low or high temperature, pay attention to selecting the appropriate medium, the key is viscosity. If the viscosity of the medium is too large, the circulating pump may not be able to move, and the circulation effect of the medium is not good enough to achieve the required temperature control effect. The high-power circulation pump was rashly replaced, and the pressure of the pressurized medium was too high, which easily damaged the double-layer glass reactor lining and the reactor ruptured. Usually, the manufacturer will also choose the matching heating medium according to their products.
3. Storage location
The double-layer glass reactor is used as a reaction amplification test device. The volume is usually 50-150L. The volume can be customized in specific cases. Therefore, the scale of the test cannot be underestimated. Because the body is made of glass, stainless steel is the stand, and the legs are casters, the storage location needs to be carefully selected.
Although the casters can be fixed with foot clasps, the stability is not strong. Therefore, pay attention to choose a flat place during storage, keep it flat, and keep the mechanical stirring center consistent with the reactor, otherwise it is easy to shake and unstable, resulting in a safety accident. The height of the body of the double-layer glass reactor is about 1.5m, and with the straight condenser tube, the overall reactor is about 2m. General floor ventilation kitchens cannot be placed, but must be placed in a well ventilated location.
4. Notes on feeding
The double-layer glass reactor is an independent reaction rack. Unlike an industrial reactor, which has a reaction bench, and a small feeding port is reserved, the feeding process is difficult.
Suggestion: solid reagents are recommended to be prepared into solution feeders; liquid reagents can be pumped into the dispensers through matching water pumps or oil pumps. In particular, when the reaction material is added to the reactor through a constant-pressure dropping funnel or a common dropping funnel, a corresponding moving ladder is required to allow the staff to add the test material.
The double-layer glass reactor should not be too large in one-time feeding amount. It should be evaluated according to the reaction temperature, reflux and pressure, and an appropriate amount of material should be added. Generally, it should not exceed 2/3 of the body.
1. Vigorous reaction of materials will cause reactor explosion.
Some chemical reactions are exothermic. When the reaction temperature exceeds the specified temperature, a large amount of gas is generated in the material's severe cracking reaction, which causes the pressure in the reactor to increase sharply, thereby deforming the inner wall of the double-layer glass reactor and causing large-area explosions.
Solution: First, pay attention to control the change of the reaction temperature of the material during the operation to prevent the temperature from being too high to cause a violent reaction; Second, install a pressure relief device to automatically reduce the pressure when the pressure in the device increases.
Another situation is that a large amount of reaction heat is generated when the two materials are in contact with each other. When the materials are close to the wall, the heat release causes a sudden change in temperature difference, which causes multiple point-like explosions.
2. Overpressure in the jacket will cause reactor explosion.
When chemical companies use steam output from the power plant to supply heat for production, the steam output from the power plant can only be used after decompression. Once the pressure reducing valve fails, or the safety valve of the steam buffer tank fails, the high-pressure steam output from the power plant is directly input to the double-layer glass reactor jacket, which causes the jacket to overpressure, and the wall of the device is caused by a large area explosion due to unstable external pressure. porcelain.
Solution: Add a pressure reducing valve to the base L of the existing pressure reducing device, and change the first pressure reduction to the second pressure reduction to achieve double insurance. In addition, the working condition of the pressure reducing valve should be checked frequently, and any problems should be replaced immediately. Some need to check whether the steam safety valve is in the correct working state, especially the spring safety valve to keep it working in a clean environment, no corrosion or jamming should occur.
1. Turn on the power switch, the indicator light is off. The external power supply is not connected or the connection is bad, please have a professional electrician check the power supply and socket;
2. If the fuse is short-circuited, place the power switch in the OFF position, and then replace the fuse.
3. The power indicator is on, but it does not rotate. The rotary shaft was rusted and stopped using, and the seven-pin plug was not connected to the supplier's motor and electrical box. Reconnect the seven-pin plug;
4. The vacuum suddenly disappears, the glass has cracks, and the switch is damaged. Check the glass parts and replace the switch.
5. There is a vacuum, but the seal ring is not worn. Please replace the seal ring and switch if the vacuum switch leaks.
6. Sometimes there is no dirt on the steel shaft when the connector is loose. Please remove the dirt and check the vacuum gauge and vacuum pump;
7. Vacuum hose is aging, please replace the vacuum hose;
8. The main shaft of the host is loosened and tightened tightly;
10. The motor temperature is too high (room temperature plus 40 ° C is normal). Stop the machine at overload. Turn the shaft by hand. Is it heavy? Remove the dirt on the contact part of the seal ring and the glass shaft and apply vacuum grease;
11. The speed display is inconsistent with the actual voltage, the voltage is unstable, and there is an error with us;
12. There is a crack and water in the charged heating tube of the shell, please check with a professional electrician.
Methods to extend the life of glass reactors:
1. Check the instrument carefully before use, whether the glass bottle is damaged, and whether the interfaces are consistent, pay attention to handling.
2. Wipe each interface with a soft cloth (can be replaced with a napkin), and then apply a little vacuum grease. (Vacuum grease must be covered after use to prevent lime sand from entering.)
3. Each interface should not be tightened too tightly. Regular loosening should be avoided to avoid long-term tight locking which will cause the connector to die.
4. Turn on the power switch first, and then let the machine run from slow to fast. When the machine is stopped, keep the machine in a stopped state, and then turn off the switch;
5. The PTFE switch can't be tightened too much, it is easy to damage the glass;
6. After each use, you must use a soft cloth to wipe away all oil stains, stains and solvents remaining on the surface of the machine, and keep it clean;
7. After shutdown, loosen the PTFE switches, and the PTFE pistons will be deformed if they stand still in the working state for a long time;
8. Regularly clean the seal ring by removing the seal ring, checking for dirt on the shaft, wiping it with a soft cloth, applying a little vacuum grease, and reinstalling it to keep the shaft and seal ring smooth;
9. The electrical part must not enter water, and it is strictly forbidden to get wet.
