Familiar Parr Designs
A
ll of the safety, convenience and reliability
features which have been the hallmark of
Parr pressure reaction equipment for more than
50 years have been incorporated into a new line
of high pressure, compact laboratory reactors.
(HPCL Reactors.)
The Series 5500 HPCL Reactors are based
upon our popular micro and mini, Series 4590
& 4560 Reactors. There are several differences
between these new reactors and their original
counterparts. Primarily, these are:
1. A smaller, more compact magnetic drive
is installed.
2. A smaller, more compact variable speed
stirrer motor.
3. The larger support stand, overarm and
motor have been eliminated.
4. An Aluminum Block Heater also serves as
the support stand.
As a result of these changes, we are now able
to offer these new reactors to users who do not
require the wide variety of options and expand-
ability provided by our Series 4500 Reactors at
a significantly lower cost. These new designs
will be welcomed by not only investigators with
limited space or budgets, but also by investiga-
tors building multiple reactor installations for
combinatorial chemistry or high throughput
investigations.
The reaction vessels used in these new HPCL
reactors are identical to the ones furnished in the
Series 4590 Micro and Series 4560 Mini Reactors.
HPCL Reactors use the popular Parr split ring
closure. These vessels are rated for a maximum
working pressure of 3000 psi. The maximum
operating temperature is dependent upon the
seal selected, PTFE gasket for up to 350 °C; with
FKM O-ring to 225 °C or FFKM O-ring to 275 °C.
