Glass Reactor Ai 100L Jacket w/ Explosion-Proof Motor/Controller 220V

The Ai 100L Jacketed Glass Reactor with an Explosion-Proof Motor and Controller is designed for high-capacity synthetic reactions under controlled temperature and vacuum conditions. Ideal for lab-scale or industrial applications requiring high safety standards, this reactor combines the versatility of a jacketed vessel with robust explosion-proof features.

What Does Explosion-Proof Mean?

In this context, explosion-proof refers to electrical equipment or enclosures designed to prevent explosions. For an item to be labeled explosion-proof, it must:

• Contain any internal explosion that may occur within the housing.
• Prevent the ignition of surrounding flammable vapors, gases, or dust by any sparks or flashes generated inside the enclosure.
• Withstand external temperature conditions that would prevent a surrounding hazardous atmosphere from igniting due to internal combustion.

This does not mean that the reactor can withstand external explosions but that it prevents an internal explosion from escalating into a larger blast.

Key Features

Explosion-Proof Parts
