What is jacketed reactor vessel?

A jacketed reactor vessel is a container used in chemical and industrial processes for the mixing, heating, cooling, or reaction of substances. It consists of two main parts: the inner vessel or tank where the actual process occurs, and an outer jacket that surrounds the inner vessel. The jacket is typically filled with a heat transfer fluid, such as water or thermal oil, to control the temperature of the materials inside the reactor vessel.

Types of stirrer in reactor:

• Anchor stirrer: Suitable for mixing high viscosity media, capable of providing powerful shearing and stirring forces.
• Paddle stirrer: Suitable for low to medium viscosity mixing.
• Propeller stirrer: Suitable for mixing suspended liquids and gases, with strong propulsion and stirring effects.
• Turbine agitator: Suitable for high-shear and high-speed stirring reaction processes, and can provide strong centrifugal force and turbulence effects.
