Laminar Flow Reactor | ReaktiLabX - 12
Product Overview
The Laminar Flow Reactor ReaktiLabX - 12 studies continuous tubular reactor behavior under controlled laminar flow conditions. This Laminar Flow Reactor features a boro 3.3 glass tube, PMMA double jacket for heating and cooling, and a special inlet to reduce inlet length. A combined conductivity and temperature sensor tracks conversion and retention time distribution. It requires the Service Unit for Chemical Reactors for pump, tank, and heating circuit support.

Construction and Design
The Laminar Flow Reactor ReaktiLabX - 12 uses a straight glass tube reactor, DN15 inside diameter and 600mm in height, made of boro 3.3 glass. An air vessel dampens pulsation, while a T-piece with nozzle mixes the reactants before entry, aided by a special inlet designed to reduce inlet length. A transparent double jacket, made of PMMA with a 50mm diameter water bath, allows heating via the supply unit and cooling via the lab water supply, or optionally via a Water Chiller. The reactor is secured to the supply unit using two pins and connects via quick-release connections. Product and unconverted reactants exit through the upper end of the reactor after a predetermined retention time and are moved into a supply unit tank via an additional peristaltic pump. A combined conductivity and temperature sensor identifies conversion, with values digitally shown on the supply unit's switch cabinet.
