Chemical Reactor

Hello friends,
What's up? Although I was busy this week, I draw a chemical reactor in Solidworks. Let's talk it!

The reactor is a special type of container commonly used in the chemical industry.
Chemical reactors are specially designed products that operate under full pressure and temperature conditions with full vacuum. The chemical reactors use in various chemical operations such as solid dissolution, product mixing, chemical reactions, bulk distillation, crystallization, liquid or liquid extraction, and polymerization.  They are used in studies where chemical reactions are required in sectors such as petrochemicals, the pharmaceutical industry, paper, food, and beverages.

A typical Reactor is a vessel consisting of a mixer and an extensive heating and/or cooling system. Liquid and solid objects are filled through the connections in the top cover of the Reactor. Steam and gasses are evacuated with the help of the connections at the top of the Reactor. The liquid is usually evacuated from under the Reactor.

The dimensions of these containers can range from 20 liters to 40,000 liters. It is usually manufactured from steel, stainless steel, glass-clad steel, glass or alloy.

Learn about stainless steel

Stainless steel is iron-carbon alloys containing high Cr and Ni. Their compositions contain at least 12% Cr.  And the chrome protects it against rusting. When the chrome element in stainless steel is exposed to oxygen (which means oxygen in a normal atmosphere), it immediately forms a chromium oxide (Cr2O3) passivation layer. This layer is so thin and completely obstructing oxygen penetration. In addition, the clearance to be created in case this layer is torn, opened or scratched for any reason, layer a very rapid reformation of the layer itself. (This is called passivation) Therefore, stainless steels have high corrosion and oxidation resistance.

Okay, let's look at the drawing.😊

Here we see reaction tubes

And an explode view

 And a completed reactor

C ya!
