Series 4540 600-1200 mL High Pressure Reactor Systems
T
his series of stirred reac-
tors has been designed
for users who need higher
operating pressures than the
2000 to 3000 psi offered by the
General Purpose Reactors, but
do not require the high operat-
ing temperatures provided by
the Series 4570 High Pressure,
High Temperature Reactors.
These reactors offer working
pressures to 5000 psi (345 bar)
at temperatures to 350 °C.
These vessels have been
designed with outside dimen-
sions comparable to the Series
4520 and 4530 Reactors so that
they can use the same support
system, stirrer drive and heater
as these popular general pur-
pose models. This provides not
only an attractively priced high
pressure/moderate temperature
system, but also reactors that
can be interchanged with the
1 and 2 liter sizes. The thicker
walls required for higher oper
ating pressures reduce the
volumes of these reactors to
600 and 1200 mL.
These reactors can be used
in either the bench top or floor
stand mountings. While the
1200 mL reactor is offered
as a “bench top model”, it
is too tall and too heavy to
be handled comfortably on a
standard height bench top. It
is recommended that the floor
stand support option should be
selected unless the user has an
“adjustable bench top” which
will accommodate the overall
height of the 1200 mL systems.
