Selection of mixing tanks
Thread Content
I plan to purchase a magnetic stirrer reactor with an inner diameter of 600 mm and a total volume of around 250 L, designed for a temperature of 300 degrees. I consulted some manufacturers; some electric heating jackets or electric heaters are used to raise the temperature ； Some say that a jacket can be used; heat transfer oil is placed inside the jacket and heated by an electric heating element (the heat transfer oil can be circulated or not). Everyone, please give some suggestions on which method would be better
Either is fine; I personally prefer the jacket type. The reaction tank is too small; it’s not profitable. Last edited by Wen Bing on 2007-12-3 07:46.]
Generally, reaction vessels need to have heating and cooling capabilities; therefore, it is advisable to use ones with jackets (using heat transfer oil). Electric heating elements can be used for heating, while for cooling, the hot oil should first be transferred to a hot oil tank. For cooling purposes, a cold oil tank equipped with cooling coils can be used, and a pump can be employed to facilitate circulation.
The reaction vessel is quite small, so a jacket is a cost-effective solution; heating is achieved through heat transfer oil, ensuring even heating as well as safety and reliability
