The heat – conducting oil heating reactor is a commonly used type of reactor and belongs to a kind of electric – heating reactor. It is a reactor that uses heat – conducting oil as the heat – conducting medium for heating. A standard jacketed heat – conducting oil heating reactor is a type of reactor that uses electric heating tubes to heat the heat – conducting oil in the jacket. This type is commonly called an electric – heating reactor, and usually, electric – heating reactors are all heat – conducting oil heating reactors. This type is generally used for heating, and usually does not require cooling. The heat – conducting oil in the jacket remains in the jacket for a long time and can maintain a constant temperature for heat preservation. There is also a type of heat – conducting oil heating reactor that uses heat – conducting oil as a circulating medium for heat exchange, for cyclic heating or cooling. This type needs to be equipped with a hot oil tank and a cold oil tank; otherwise, heat waste will be relatively serious. This type is suitable for reactors that need both heating and cooling, and is adopted when there is no steam source and both heating and cooling are required simultaneously. Similar to the heat – conducting oil heating reactor, there is also a water – heating reactor, which is suitable for occasions where the heating temperature requirement is not high, usually when the heating temperature is lower than 60 degrees. In this case, water can be used as the heating medium. Below, we will mainly introduce the more commonly used form of the heat – conducting oil heating reactor: the electric – heating reactor.
The heat – conducting oil heating reactor uses heat – conducting oil as the heating medium. It has the characteristics of high heating temperature, fast heating speed, and uniform heating. Compared with the ordinary steam – heated reactor, the maximum temperature of the heat – conducting oil heating reactor can reach 320 degrees. Due to the high heating temperature of the heat – conducting oil heating reactor, for safety reasons, an insulation layer is usually set on the outside of the jacket. The insulation effect is good, and heat loss is low. The surface is covered with stainless steel for insulation, which is not only safe but also beautiful and hygienic. The heating power is calculated according to the heating temperature difference and the requirements of heating time. The commonly used power ranges from 1kw to 108kw. The number of heating tubes is designed according to the size of the tank. For uniform heat distribution and faster heating speed, the heat – conducting oil heating reactor is generally equipped with a stirring system. The stirring system is configured according to the material properties and reaction characteristics. It can be common impeller stirring, anchor – type stirring, anchor – frame combined stirring, or frame – type scraping – wall combined stirring. Different material properties require different stirring forms and rotation speeds. Therefore, when placing an order, the basic properties of the materials, such as viscosity, concentration, particle size, and corrosiveness, need to be clearly defined. For the structural form of the heat – conducting oil heating reactor, we generally adopt the structure with upper and lower elliptical heads. Of course, non – standard customization is also possible, such as an upper flat mouth, a side – opening cover, a conical head, a lower elliptical head, a conical bottom, or an inclined bottom. The setting of the height – to – diameter ratio is designed according to the characteristics of the reaction, and can also be customized according to the material properties and reaction conditions.
