Specification:
JACKETED VESSEL WITH COIL & STIRRER APPARATUS
The apparatus is used for studyingheat transfer with either an external jacket or an internal coil under batchwise or continuous feed conditions.
The unit consists of a jacketedvessel with a coil and stirrer and a service module. The module comprises a hotwater tank with a transfer pump and instruments for monitoring and control.Parallel or counter flow or changing from jacked vessel to coil and stirrer maybe done by rearranging flexible hoses.
A cold fluid in a vessel is heated bya hot fluid in the jacket or in the coil. An adjustable speed a stirrer andbaffles are provided to allow thorough mixing of the vessel contents. Thecontent volume in the vessel can be varied by an adjustable height overflowpipe. The unit requires outside water supply. Instruction manual is alsoincluded.
Typical Experiments
Demonstration of heat transfer forjacketed vessel with or without stirrer both continuous and batch types.
Demonstration of heat transfer forheating coil with or without stirrer.
Determination of heat transfercoefficient.
Effects of flow rate and temperaturedifference.
Effect of vessel content.
Advanced Design for Reliable Heat TransferThis apparatus comes with a borosilicate glass vessel and stainless steel jacket, guaranteeing durability and resistance to chemicals. The internal SS 304/316 seamless coil enhances the efficiency of thermal exchange, making it a suitable choice for diverse laboratory processes. The epoxy powder coated mild steel stand provides a stable and corrosion-resistant framework.
Precise Control for Uniform Mixing and HeatingEquipped with a variable speed motor for the stirrer and a digital temperature indicator, users can achieve uniform agitation and accurate temperature management. The apparatus offers a measurement accuracy of 1C, supporting temperature ranges from 0C to 100C. Safety features including an over-temperature cut-off and splash shield ensure operator protection.
Flexible and User-Friendly OperationDesigned for simple operation with hose connectors for coolant and process fluid, the apparatus suits both standard and customized vessel capacities (2 liters standard, with other options available). Power requirements are straightforward with 230V AC, single phase, and the whole unit is semi-automatic for ease of use and maintenance.
FAQs of JACKETED VESSEL WITH COIL & STIRRER APPARATUS:
Q: How does the jacketed vessel with coil and stirrer operate?
A: The apparatus works by circulating coolant through the stainless steel jacket and coil while mixing the vessel contents with a variable speed stainless steel stirrer. This combination allows for controlled heating or cooling and uniform mixing, aided by precise temperature feedback from a digital indicator.
Q: What benefits does the borosilicate glass vessel offer compared to other materials?
A: Borosilicate glass is highly resistant to thermal shock and chemical corrosion, making it ideal for laboratory applications involving temperature changes and exposure to various substances. This ensures safety, long life, and reliability.
Q: When should I use the over-temperature cut-off feature?
A: The over-temperature cut-off activates automatically if the vessel temperature exceeds the safe operating range, preventing damage to the apparatus and ensuring user safety. It is crucial for maintaining safe laboratory conditions during heating or exothermic reactions.
Q: Where can I install the jacketed vessel apparatus?
A: The unit is designed for benchtop installation in laboratory environments such as research labs, academic institutions, and testing facilities. Ensure that there is access to a standard single phase 230V AC power supply and appropriate water connections for coolant.
Q: What is the process for connecting coolant and process lines?
A: The vessel comes with hose connectors, allowing easy attachment of coolant inlet and outlet hoses as well as process fluid connections. This setup enables efficient temperature control during experiments and can be configured as per specific requirements.
Q: How do I adjust the stirrer speed during operation?
A: The removable stainless steel stirrer is powered by a variable speed motor, which can be adjusted up to 1500 RPM. The speed control is typically operated through an accessible panel, providing flexibility for different mixing requirements.
Q: What are the primary applications and key advantages of this apparatus?
A: This equipment is primarily used in heat transfer laboratories for studying the principles of thermal exchange and fluid mixing. Its key benefits include accurate temperature measurement, efficient heat transfer, corrosion-resistant construction, and enhanced safety features.
