Working Principle

The SS-5L stainless steel reactor vessel operates by providing a sealed high-pressure environment for chemical reactions. Heat is supplied either through an electric heating coil or a jacket, while the built-in stirrer (mechanical or magnetic) ensures uniform mixing of reactants. This design enables the reactor vessel to facilitate various chemical reactions under different temperature and pressure conditions, such as synthesis, polymerization, dissolution, and extraction. Safety devices like pressure gauges and safety valves regulate pressure during operation, preventing overpressure and ensuring safety.

Precautions

1. Equipment Inspection: Before use, check the integrity of the stainless steel reactor vessel and its connections. Ensure no leaks, and verify that the agitator, rotating components, auxiliary devices, indicators, safety valves, pipelines, and valves meet safety standards.

2. Operating Environment: Maintain a clean and organized workspace free from debris or flammable materials. Ensure proper ventilation to prevent the accumulation of harmful gases.

3. Safety Protections: Use necessary safety equipment such as explosion-proof caps, safety valves, and pressure gauges to ensure the vessel's reliability and safety.

4. Operating Manual: Read and understand the operating manual carefully before use to ensure proper handling and operation techniques.

5. Cleaning and Maintenance: Clean and maintain the reactor vessel promptly after use to avoid residue buildup and corrosion. Use appropriate cleaning agents and tools, and routinely check the sealing condition to ensure the vessel remains intact.

6. Temperature and Pressure Control: Adhere to the recommended temperature and pressure limits for your experiment or production. Exceeding these limits could damage the equipment or lead to safety risks.

7. Feeding Sequence: Follow the specified feeding sequence in the process requirements, and do not exceed the recommended material quantity.
