Series 5500 High Pressure Compact Laboratory Reactors
The 25, 50, and 100 mL reactors are equipped

with gas inlet and outlet valves, a liquid sam-
pling valve, pressure gage, safety rupture disc,
and internal thermocouple in addition to the
internal stirrer. The 300, 450, and 600 mL reac-
tors include an internal cooling loop in addition
to these fittings.
New Magnetic Drive

To take advantage of the new technology
available in magnets today, Parr has designed a
new compact, magnetically-coupled stirrer drive
especially for these smaller vessels. Tests show
that this new drive is sufficient to stir reaction
mixtures with viscosities up to 10,000 centipoise
in a 600 mL reaction vessel.
Variable Speed Motor

A 1/17 hp variable speed motor provides stir-
ring speeds adjustable from 0 to 1700 rpm. An
optional tachometer pickup provides a signal to
the optional tachometer display module which
can be installed in the 4848 Controller.
Heater / Reactor Support

A heater also serves as the vessel support for
the HPCL Reactors. This is an aluminum block
style heater for excellent thermal uniformity. The
cartridge heaters used in this heating block are
easily replaced if required. A stainless steel heat
shield is provided around the heating block. This
style of heater/reactor support provides a very
small footprint, ideal for limited bench space.
