Heating Precautions

1. Do not use an electric furnace or open flame to heat the 5L glass reactor directly; use a dedicated heating circulation bath for safe heating.

2. When using a heating circulation bath, it is recommended to use low-risk heating media, such as 2A silicone oil.

3. Before starting the heating process, first activate the circulation pump, and gradually increase the temperature while the oil is circulating.

4. Avoid direct contact with the reactor body when it reaches high temperatures to prevent burns. Allow the 5L jacketed glass reactor to cool naturally after the experiment; do not cool it rapidly to prevent damage caused by thermal shock.

5. Before using the heating circulation bath, ensure water or oil is added to the bath. Turn off the power supply after use. Do not touch heated media directly to avoid burns.

6. The water level in the heating circulation bath must cover the PT100 thermocouple probe by 3–5 cm. Regularly check and replenish water to prevent dry heating (dry heating is strictly prohibited). If liquid dries up, immediately cut off the power and wait for the heating element to cool naturally before refilling.

FAQ

Q: What should I do if the stirrer of the 5L glass reactor stops working?

A: Check if the motor driver is functioning properly, such as whether electrical connections are loose or the voltage is stable. If necessary, replace faulty components. Additionally, check the lubrication of the stirrer bearings and apply oil or replace the bearings if abnormal conditions are detected.

Q: How can I resolve excessive pressure in the 5L jacketed glass reactor?

A: First, check for blockages or improperly sealed valves. If all passages are clear and the issue persists, reduce the amount of reactants or increase the reactor volume while improving ventilation.

Q: How can I fix inaccurate temperature control in the 5L glass reactor?

A: Verify the correct installation and connection of the temperature sensor. If the problem persists, recalibrate or replace the temperature controller. Also, check whether the heater is functioning properly and repair or replace it as needed.
