PressureSyn – High Safety Reactor: Asynt has collaborated with The University of Nottingham to bring their expertise & respect for the safety aspects of working at high pressure in the laboratory to the general market in the form of PressureSyn; an accessible benchtop scale high pressure reactor, with novel safety features built-in.
Why is PressureSyn so unique?
With a vessel volume of 125 mL, maximum working pressure of 180 bar and temperature of 200 °C with heating via any hotplate & stirring via magnetic flea, what’s significant about PressureSyn is the unique safety key & locking clamp mechanism that does not allow the vessel cover to be removed whilst any pressure remains in the system. Every safety key & clamp are unique therefore ensuring that it cannot be undone with a spare, and include features which automatically release any residual pressure prior to removing the cover. This high-safety single laboratory pressure reactor also features a double pressure relief system with both a bursting disk & pressure relief valve.
PressureSyn laboratory pressure reactors are designed to work on any magnetic hotplate stirrer; a special DrySyn adapter plate allows the secure placement of the reactors on the hotplate stirrer; together with enhanced temperature transfer and the ability to control external temperature from a standard 3 mm thermocouple.
Specification
- Designed, manufactured & tested in the UK, from traceable certificated 316 stainless steel.
- Maximum working pressure of 180 bar & 200 °C
- Comes with a pressure relief valve, and a bursting disk as standard.
- Unique bracket with locking clasp so the system can be easily set up and disassembled but cannot be disassembled when under pressure.
- Pressure relief needle valve with a built in key that can be used to unlock the clasp only once any residual pressure is released.
- Fits a specially designed DrySyn adapter base plate for use on a standard magnetic stirrer hotplate, to 200 °C.
- Agitation via magnetic stirring bar.
- Gas inlet/outlet valve with compression fitting for attaching to steel pressure tubing.
- Additional (spare) 1/8th npt port for customers own attachments.
