Pipeline selection for 5000L reactors! ! !
Thread Content
Most of the reaction vessels in our workshop are 5000L in size. So what size is appropriate for the material pipelines? If they are too small, the time required to transport the materials is too long; if they are too large, it results in unnecessary waste of funds.
The pipe diameter is related to the flow rate of the material, and it cannot be determined solely based on the size of the reactor. For the process pipes inside the workshop, DN50 is commonly used; if one is unsure, a larger wall thickness can be chosen! ! !
5M3, right? It’s a CSTR or batch reactor; if it’s a batch reactor, 1.5\" should be sufficient.
The size of the pipes should not be determined by the size of the reactor; rather, it should be determined by the flow rate and velocity in the pipes. More generally, it depends on the processing capacity of your installation.

The size of the pipes should be related to that of the reactor; a larger reactor means a greater processing capacity, and thus a larger volume of material needs to be transported. Therefore, the pipes should also be larger, which will result in a shorter transportation time, saving time and improving efficiency. Hence, a comprehensive consideration is necessary.
The reactor in the workshop has a capacity of 5000 L, which is equivalent to 5 m3, with an effective filling volume of 4 m3. Please calculate the transfer time: when using a DN50 pump, the transfer time is 28 minutes; with a DN80 pump, it is 14.3 minutes; and with a DN100 pump, it is 7 minutes. It is recommended to use a DN80 diameter pipe. If it’s too small, the material transfer time is too long; if it’s too large, it wastes money. It’s too large, making it inconvenient to use and difficult to control.
What was said upstairs is excellent; thank you! ! !
