The Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor ReaktiLabX - 08 studies stirred tank reactor behavior in continuous and discontinuous operation. This Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor features a glass DN 100 tank, variable speed stirrer, and height-adjustable overflow for reactor volume control. Its stainless steel chambered bottom acts as a heat exchanger, with a combined conductivity and temperature sensor tracking conversion. It requires the Service Unit for Chemical Reactors for pump, tank, and heating circuit support.

Construction and Design
The Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor ReaktiLabX - 08 uses a glass tank, DN 100 size, 250mm in height, made of boro 3.3 glass, with a reactor capacity of approximately 1950mL. A stirrer, driven by a variable speed brushless geared motor at 300minā»Ā¹, ensures a homogenous mixture within the reactor. A height-adjustable overflow allows the reactor volume to be changed, transferring the combination of product and unconverted reactants into a tank on the supply unit. The chambered bottom, made of stainless steel, acts as a heat exchanger for temperature control via the supply unit. The reactor is secured to the supply unit using two pins and connects via quick-release connections. A combined conductivity and temperature sensor identifies conversion in the reactor, with values digitally shown on the supply unit.
