REACTION VESSELS

 

Heating Jackets are self-contained units which consist of inner and outer steel shells, a heating unit, a device which holds the reaction vessel in place, and a

thermocouple port

with thermocouple guide tube.  (Thermocouple is not supplied with jacket).  To remove the reaction vessel, operator need loosen only one bolt at the bottom of the jacket and lift the vessel out.  Removal of the reaction vessel does not disturb the heating element or the insulation.
Since the reaction vessel is held in the heating jacket only at the bottom, both the vessel and the heating jacket are free to expand separately during the heating cycle.
There are three sizes of shakers available. Each size series has a heating system specially designed for maximum efficiency  in the shaker in which it is used.  The 2-9/16-in. o. d. Micro Series heating jackets are constructed to include a tubular immersion heater with a radiation shield and an infinitely variable heater control switch.
The 4-3/8-in. Series heating jacket contains two heating elements, depending on its size. The heating elements are interlaced so as to heat the entire length of the reaction vessel, should less than the full number of elements be used at any one time.
ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS: Heating jackets are supplied for either 115 or 230 volts, depending upon the power rating.
Please note that electrical equipment wound for 115 volts requires twice the current needed for equipment wound for 230 volts.
It is suggested that this factor be discussed with your electrical department before ordering.  when orders are placed for equipment other than standard, the customer should state voltage required for the heating jacket.

 

STANDARD CLOSURES

Compression Closure-Outside-cap Type (for Use on Micro, 4-3/8-In, Series Reaction Vessels)- Consists of five parts: (1) outside cap that screws onto the body of the reaction vessel; (2) thrust bolts; (3) hardened-steel thrust ring that keeps the thrust bolts from marring the pressure head; (4) inner pressure head; (5) gasket.  The cap has two holes for the insertion of a tommy bar for loosening, and has two tapped holes for eyebolts for use in lifting the vessel from the heating jacket.  Four vent holes in the cap provide relief of pressure in the event of gasket failure or leakage.
Gaskets are of two types: (1) a flat copper or other metal gasket that is set into a groove on the underside of the head; (2) a "delta" gasket.  Flat gaskets are used for most services up to 15,000 psi.; "delta" gaskets for extreme pressures.  As pressure in the vessel increases, the pressure acts on the inside of the "delta" and changes the angle of contact between the gasket and its seals.  This slight change in angle with rise in pressure tends to force the "delta" ring tightly against its seat and thereby insures a self-energized joint.
