    5 feet are squarely positioned. Check that all feet are contacting the fumehood surface and that the Reactor-Ready Duo unit is level. Adjustments can be made to individual feet by screwing in or out to achieve this. Locate the Drip Tray in the base.
  • Page 12 Important, Important, Important, Important, 8.4 Assembling the Manifolds 8.4.1 Reactor-Ready Duo offers a choice of configurations for circulating manifolds, dependant on the application. The single circulator manifold configuration allows both jacketed reaction vessels to be controlled from a single thermoregulator. Thermofluid flow is split equally for each vessel. Both vessels will be controlled at the same temperature and temperature profile.

  • Page 19 8.12.10 Switch on power to the overhead stirrer, and start stirrer motor slowly, to check that smooth coupling of stirrer pins has been achieved. The maximum operating speed for Reactor-Ready Duo is 500rpm for continuous operation and 800rpm for short periods.
  • Page 20 8.15.1 8.15 Connecting the thermoregulator 8.15.1 The Reactor-Ready Duo manifolds are supplied with M24 fittings as standard. Please check the fittings on the hoses you are using and if they are not M24, then a suitable adapter will be required (please see Page 5 for a full list of suitable adapters).
  • Page 21 Closed 8.19. Draining thermofluid from Reactor-Ready Duo 8.19.1 If the reaction vessel needs to be removed from the Reactor-Ready Duo framework for cleaning, or to replace it with another vessel, the thermofluid in the jacket must first be drained. 8.19.2 Ensure that the thermoregulator is switched off and thermofluid allowed to cool to a safe temperature.
  • Page 22 The hose connector should be sealed at this point with the use of a red (Rodaviss) sealing cap (supplied with the hose) or with Reactor-Ready Duo Hose Tidies to prevent dripping of thermofluid residues.
  • Page 23 Reactor-Ready Pilot - Lab Reactor 8. Set-Up and Operation - Continued 8.22 Static Static can be generated in any circulating fluid system. This is not a ‘fault’ with the equipment, but an unfortunate and accepted occasional side effect of the methodology. The following is provided for your information only and is not intended to be a concise guide of necessary actions in the case of static build up.
  • Page 24 50K. 9.4 Temperature Range Standard jacketed vessels with the Radleys V4 Zero Dead Space Stopcock, are suitable for use from -60°C to +190°C. Important Note - At temperatures below -50°C there may be some weeping from the Important, Important, stopcock.
  • Page 25 9.8 V4 Zero Dead Space Stopcock (V4 ZDS) 9.8.1 All Reactor-Ready Duo Vessels feature the V4 ZDS. This zero dead volume stopcock minimises the dead space at the bottom of the reaction vessel during reactions. The stopcock also minimises hold up of reaction contents after draining the reactor.
