arr offers both specialty reactorsand custom modifications to our
line of stirred
reactors and pres-sure vessels. See the Tenth Edition of
the Parr Stirred Reactors and Pressure
Vessels Catalog as well as our website
for more details on these vessels. Glass Reactors Parr Series 5100 Low-PressureReactors feature transparent glass
vessels designed for operating pres-
sures to 150 psi (10 bar) and temper-
atures to 225 °C. These
reactors are
offered in six different sizes ranging
from 160 to 1500 mL. Interchange-
able metal vessels are available
which will raise the operating pres-
sure limit to 1000 psi (69 bar).These
reactors are equipped with magnetically driven internal
stirrers, inlet and sampling valves,
circulating jackets and controllers as well as safety relief devices and
protective shielding. Multiple Reactor System The 5000 Multiple Reactor Systemhas been designed for rapid screen-
ing of catalyst and similar parallel or combinatorial studies. Six individ-
ual
reactors are provided for operat-
ing pressures to 3000 psi and tem-
peratures to either 225 °C with a self-sealing O-ring or 300 °C with a PTFE gasket.The control system is based on the Parr 4870 Process Controller.
This system provides individual temperature monitoring, individual
pressure monitoring, constant stirring speeds, computer control,
display, logging, and data reduction.Vessels are available with vol-umes designed for heterogeneous
catalysis: 75 or 45 mL. A magnetic
stirrer bar provides sample mixing.
The vessels can be furnished in special materials if unusual corro-sive conditions are expected.The manifold system permits the rapid purging and filling of all
vessels to the same starting pres-
sure. Alternately, these vessels can
be filled with varying initial starting
pressures.A variety of custom modificationsare available for this system. The
valves can be mounted either direct-
ly on the vessel head or remotely on
the manifold panel. Sample valves
with dip tubes are available for sam-
pling liquids during the reaction.Parr also offers parallel systemswhich can incorporate any of our
stirred
reactors. Custom Reactors Each year the Parr Technical Sales and Engineering Departments
design hundreds of custom vessels
for our customers. These may be
simple modifications of standard
vessels such as adding or changing
valves, adjusting volumes, or adding
windows, condensers or gas or liq-
uid charging systems. At the other
end of the development spectrum
are completely new vessel designs
within our manufacturing range for
systems involving automatic control
and measurement of gas inlet, liquid
feeds, and product recovery.Inquiries for custom vessels orsystems are always welcome and
they will receive our prompt and
detailed response. Compact Reactors Parr Series 5500 High PressureCompact Reactors are available in
seven sizes ranging from 25 to 600
mL. They are designed for operating
pressures to 3000 psi (200 bar) and
temperatures to 350 °C. The vessels
are available in a variety of materials
of construction.The
reactors feature an aluminumblock heater, which also serves as
the vessel support system. This
heater system and the included 4836 Temperature Controller eachtake up less than one square foot of
bench space. They can easily be set
up or stored away when not in use.The vessels are available witheither a flat PTFE gasket for temper-
atures to 350 °C or a self-sealing O-ring for temperatures up to 225 °C. A compact magnetic drive
and a directly coupled motor provide
vigorous stirring at speeds up to
1800 rpm. The 4836 Temperature
Controller provides PID control with
ramp and soak programming and
digital communication to any con-
nected PC. Guide to Parr Specialty / Custom Reactors
