Vessel sidearms
Whilst Reactor-Ready hoses are specifically designed to
prevent stress being put on the vessel sidearm, care should
be taken to avoid stress caused by misaligning or
twisting the hoses.
Vacuum jacketed vessels
Vacuum jacketed vessels are recommended for use with
sub-ambient reactions.
The additional vacuum jacket surrounding these vessels
helps increase the performance of the system by
minimising heat/cold loss from the vessel. A double O-ring
seal at the top of the piston further improves the sealing
of the vessel stopcock, which is particularly useful at
extremely low temperatures.
By positioning the sealing O-rings in an environment surrounded
by a vacuum, the design of these vessels ensures maximum
isolation of the piston seal and hot/cold thermal fluid, thereby
minimising heat transfer.
Benefits of using vacuum jacketed vessels
• Visibility – reduced icing and condensation means you can see
inside when cooling.
• Energy efficiency – cooling power is optimised.
• Safety – the insulated outer surface means there’s no touch
hazard when hot or cold.
V4 zero dead space stopcock (V4 ZDS)
All Reactor-Ready vessels feature the V4 ZDS. This zero dead volume stopcock minimises the dead space
at the bottom of the reaction vessel during reactions. The stopcock also minimises hold-up of reaction
contents after draining the reactor.
