The Stirred Tanks in Series ReaktiLabX - 09 connects three identical glass stirred tank reactors in series for higher conversion. This Stirred Tanks in Series system uses variable speed stirrers and stainless steel chambered bottoms as heat exchangers across all three reactors. Intermediate delivery pumps transfer reactants between reactors, with a combined conductivity and temperature sensor tracking conversion at each stage. It requires the Service Unit for Chemical Reactors for pump, tank, and heating circuit support.

Construction and Design
The Stirred Tanks in Series ReaktiLabX - 09 consists of 3 identical stirred tank reactors, each DN 100 in size, 250mm in height, made of boro 3.3 glass, with a capacity of approximately 1950mL each. Each reactor is fitted with a stirrer driven by a variable speed brushless geared motor at 300minā»Ā¹, and a chambered bottom made of stainless steel functioning as a heat exchanger. Reactors are mounted on the supply unit, secured by two pins, and connected via quick-release connections. Two pumps transport reactants into the first reactor, with the product and unconverted reactants transferred through an overflow into the second and third reactors in turn, using two additional peristaltic pumps for intermediate delivery. A combined conductivity and temperature sensor identifies conversion in each reactor, with values digitally displayed on the supply unit.
Required Accessories
Q: What is the Stirred Tanks in Series ReaktiLabX - 09 used for?
A: It is used to study the operation and behavior of stirred tanks connected in series, examining conversion, saponification reaction fundamentals, and the effects of retention time, temperature, and concentration.
Q: How many reactors are connected in series?
A: Three identical stirred tank reactors, each DN 100 in size with a capacity of approximately 1950mL, are connected in series.
Q: Why use stirred tanks in series instead of a single reactor?
A: Stirred tanks in series provide higher conversion compared to a single stirred tank reactor and allow variable process control, since each reactor's temperature and retention duration can be customized.
Q: How are reactants transferred between the reactors?
A: Reactants are transferred between reactors via an overflow, using two additional peristaltic pumps on the supply unit for intermediate delivery.
Q: What accessory is required to operate this system?
A: The Service Unit for Chemical Reactors ReaktiLabX 09 is required to operate this system, providing pumps, tanks, and the heating water circuit.
