The jacketed glass reactor is a revolutionary piece of equipment This article will take you through the details of the jacketed glass reactor.

Reactors have a variety of uses in the chemical industry, such as distillation, API manufacturing, crystallization, extraction, and reprocessing. They are manufactured in various forms, sizes, and materials (usually glass or stainless steel) to meet the chemical reactions of the end user.
Jacketed reactors provide an excellent way to obtain reliable and consistent results, allowing scientists to scale up reactions and increase the yield of process materials used.
Jackets are available in single and double jacket configurations. Single-jacketed systems use a cooler to circulate the liquid around the reactor, while double-jacketed systems use a cooler to circulate the liquid through the inner jacket. The outer jacket serves as vacuum insulation, ensuring that the vessel remains at the desired temperature and preventing condensation from forming at ultra-low temperatures.
A jacketed glass reactor is a vessel that regulates the temperature of the contents around the reactor by heating or cooling the jacket. The jacket enables a uniform heat exchange between the fluid circulating in it and the vessel walls.
1. Through the double-lined glass reactor jacket, the material or liquid is injected into the glass reactor for thermal dissolution or cooling treatment.
2. External cooling or heating equipment is connected to the double-lined glass reactor.
3. Ensure the stirring of the material or liquid is heated by the stirrer at a constant level.
4. Stirring reaction is carried out in the closed reactor under natural or negative pressure.
5. At the end of the reaction, the material is discharged by a given discharge valve at the bottom of the reactor.
