T
hese are the most popular
of all Parr Stirred Reactors.
Although they are called “Mini”
reactors, they offer a range of
sizes large enough to work with
significant sample sizes, yet
small enough to be handled
with ease by all operators.
They are made in both fixed
head and moveable vessel
styles, with a choice of either
a self sealing O-ring closure
with no cap screws for working
temperatures up to 225 °C,
or with a flat, PTFE gasket for
higher temperatures up to 350
°C sealed with six cap screws
in a split-ring cover clamp.
Choosing the high tempera
ture option (HT) boosts the
maximum temperature to 500
°C, but de-rates the MAWP to
2000 psi (138 bar). Standard
Mini reactors can be converted
to high temperature reactors
(500 °C max temperature and
2000 psi MAWP) by changing
the head openings to cone con-
nections, replacing the valves
with high temperature valves,
replacing the gasket with a
graphoil Flat Gasket, replacing
the heater with a ceramic fiber
heater, and replacing the split
ring. Contact Parr for details.
Although internal and exter-
nal space is limited in these
small vessels, gas entrainment
impellers, catalyst baskets,
condensers and other options
are available. All reactors in
this series can also be easily
converted from one size to
another by simply substituting
a longer or shorter cylinder
with the corresponding internal
fittings and heaters.
The support system for
these Mini Reactors is designed
specifically to provide stability
at stirring speeds up to 1700
rpm, in a compact mounting
small enough to fit into a
laboratory hood. The support
system can also be adapted
to accept any of the smaller
vessels from the 4590 Micro
Reactor Series.
