6.3 Converting Reactor-Ready core to filter core
An existing Reactor-Ready core system that uses reaction vessels can be converted to a filter core
system capable of accommodating the full range of Reactor-Ready reaction and filter vessels.
To make the conversion, you will first need to fully dismantle your existing Reactor-Ready core system.
6.3.1 Dismantling the Reactor-Ready core system
Step 1
Drain any thermofluid from the reaction vessel that is currently fitted. (See Section 6.4.8 on page 39 –
Draining fluid from Reactor-Ready, for instructions on how to do this).
Step 2
Remove the overhead stirrer and lid from the reaction vessel.
Step 3
Disconnect the quick-release insulated hoses and remove the reaction vessel from the framework.
Step 4
Remove the stirrer support I-beam, the T-beam support brace, the vessel support clamp, the lower
supply and upper return manifolds, and all the safety stop collars.
Step 5
Loosen the three support rod bosses at the base of the support rods, using the locking tool provided.
Now unscrew each of the support rods from the base. Once they are fully detached, remove the
support rod bosses from the support rods.
You are now ready to assemble your filter core system.
