QRAD Adiabatic and Isothermal Reactor

The Adiabatic and Isothermal Reactor, "QRAD", designed by EDIBON, is used as a calorimeter for the kinetic study of homogeneous liquid-liquid reactions.

Characterized by maintaining a constant temperature with no heat exchange with the surroundings, this reactor ensures stable conditions during the process, which is essential for precise and reproducible research in the field of chemical and kinetic reactions.

This property guarantees that any temperature change within the reactor is solely attributable to the energy generated or absorbed by the reaction itself, without external influences, facilitating a more accurate assessment of reaction parameters and a better understanding of its kinetics and thermodynamic behavior.

The Adiabatic and Isothermal Reactor enables a wide range of practices, including the determination of ionic conductivities and the determination of reaction order with respect to different compounds, to the calculation of rate constants and the formulation of rate equations. Additionally, it allows the analysis of the variation of the rate constant with temperature through the Arrhenius equation, making comparisons between theoretical and experimental conversion, exploring the effect of concentration on conversion, calculating the heat transfer coefficient of the coil, and determining the enthalpy of specific reactions.

This versatility, which also includes the ability to study mixing effects and perform operations in both batch and continuous modes, makes this unit an indispensable tool for teachers and researchers in the field of chemical engineering and process engineering.

To work with this reactor, the Base and Service Unit, "QRUBI," is required, which supplies the necessary reagents and thermostatic water for proper operation.

These Computer Controlled Units are supplied with EDIBON Computer Control System (SCADA), and includes: The unit itself + a Control Interface Box + a Data Acquisition Board + Computer Control, Data Acquisition and Data Management Software Packages, for controlling the process and all parameters involved in the process.
