The Alva Single Jacketed Glass Reactor is designed for precise control of temperature and mixing during chemical reactions. It combines an electric stirring system, condensation setup, and feeding system into a compact, versatile unit.
The single-layer glass jacket is connected to an external heating or cooling circulation device. As the material inside the vessel is stirred, the circulating medium flows through the jacket, enabling the contents to be heated or cooled at a constant and controlled temperature.
When operated under vacuum conditions (with a connected vacuum pump), the system significantly improves evaporation efficiency and allows reactions to proceed under reduced pressure. The resulting solvent vapor passes through a glass condensing coil, where it is cooled and liquefied, then refluxed back into the reactor or collected via the bottom valve of the dean-stark trap.
After the reaction is complete, the material can be conveniently discharged from the side outlet at the bottom of the reactor. The unit can be integrated with vacuum pumps and high/low-temperature circulators, forming a complete and efficient reaction system.
