General Description

The Computer Controlled Chemical Reactors, "QRC", has been designed by EDIBON for the study and comparison of different types of chemical reactors.

The minimum supply consists of two main elements: the Service Unit for QRC, "QUSC", and at least one of the required elements described below.

The Service Unit for QRC, "QUSC", provides the necessary elements for the operation of the different reactor modules. It performs the following functions:

  • Reagent supply: consisting of two 1 liter pyrex containers each located at the back, two dosing pumps and all the necessary connections.
  • Temperature control: consisting of a thermostatic bath and an impulsion pump.
  • Quick and easy to perform reactor exchange and positioning system.
