Engineering Overview: High-Pressure Reactors & Autoclave Systems
High-pressure laboratory reactors and stirred autoclaves facilitate chemical syntheses, catalytic hydrogenations, hydrothermal crystal growth, and corrosion investigations under extreme temperature and pressure conditions. Manufactured by Parr Instrument Company and supplied exclusively by Orbit Technologies in India, these systems feature magnetic drive agitators that eliminate dynamic shaft seals, prevent vapor leaks, and provide hermetic containment up to 5000 psi (345 bar) and 500°C.
Measurement Principles & Technology
- Hermetic Magnetic Agitation: High-torque rare-earth neodymium magnetic drives transmit rotary torque through a non-magnetic pressure barrier without stuffing boxes or mechanical seals.
- ASME Code Construction: Heavy-wall pressure vessels designed and stamped in accordance with ASME Section VIII, Division 1 boiler and pressure vessel codes.
- PID Cascade Control: Digital controllers manage both internal process temperature and external ceramic heater temperatures to prevent thermal overshoot during exothermic reactions.
- Corrosion Resistant Metallurgy: Wetted components engineered from specialized alloys including Hastelloy C-276, Inconel 600, Monel 400, Nickel 200, and Grade 2 Titanium.
