1. According to the heating/cooling method, reactors can be divided into electric heating, hot water heating, thermal oil circulation heating, far-infrared heating, external (internal) coil heating, jacketed cooling, and internal coil cooling. The choice of heating method mainly depends on the heating/cooling temperature required for the chemical reaction and the amount of heat required.
2. According to the material of the reactor body, reactors can be divided into carbon steel reactors, stainless steel reactors, glass-lined reactors (enamel-lined reactors), and steel-lined reactors.
Carbon Steel Reactors
Suitable for environments without corrosive liquids, such as certain oil processing applications.
Stainless Steel Reactors
Suitable for high-temperature, high-pressure chemical reaction experiments in petroleum, chemical, pharmaceutical, metallurgical, scientific research, and higher education institutions. They are used to complete processes such as hydrolysis, neutralization, crystallization, distillation, evaporation, storage, hydrogenation, hydrocarbonation, polymerization, condensation, heating and mixing, and isothermal reactions. They can achieve high stirring effects for viscous and particulate substances.
Glass-lined Reactor
Applications: Widely used in petroleum, chemical, food, pharmaceutical, pesticide, and scientific research industries.
PE-lined Steel Reactor
Applications: Suitable for acids, alkalis, salts, and most alcohols. Suitable for the refining of liquid food and pharmaceuticals. An ideal replacement for rubber-lined, fiberglass, stainless steel, titanium steel, enamel, and welded plastic sheeting.
PTFE-lined Steel Reactor
Applications: Extremely excellent corrosion resistance, resistant to acids, alkalis, salts, strong oxidizers, organic compounds, and all other highly corrosive chemical media of various concentrations.
