Abstract
An object is to provide a novel flow reactor capable of measuring the internal temperature. The flow reactor including a tubular reaction line, wherein the flow reactor further includes an internal temperature measurement unit provided at one or more location of the tubular reaction line, the internal temperature measurement unit includes a thermometer with a temperature sensor, and the temperature sensor is inserted into the tubular reaction line.
Claims16
A flow reactor comprising:
- a tubular reaction line;
- an internal temperature measurement unit provided at one or more location of the tubular reaction line, wherein
- the internal temperature measurement unit comprises a thermometer with a temperature sensor,
- the temperature sensor is positioned in the tubular reaction line,
- the tubular reaction line is a helical tubular reaction line comprising a helical axis and a straight flow channel in part of the tubular reaction line,
- the straight flow channel is substantially parallel to the helical axis of the helical tubular reaction line, and
- the internal temperature measurement unit is positioned in the straight flow channel.
4 more elements
A flow reactor comprising:
- at least two raw material feeding lines;
- a tubular reaction line comprising, as a main portion, a helical tubular line, which has a helical axis and partially includes a straight tubular portion parallel to the helical axis;
- a temperature sensor;
- and
- a temperature controller comprising a heat exchange medium and a tank accommodating the heat exchange medium, wherein
- the at least two raw material feeding lines are joined at a join portion so that raw materials fed to the at least two raw material feeding lines are mixed at the join portion,
- the tubular reaction line is connected to the joint portion so that the raw materials flow from the at least two raw material feeding lines to the tubular reaction line through the joint portion,
- the temperature sensor is disposed in the straight tubular portion of the tubular reaction line so as to directly measure temperature of the raw materials flowing in the tubular reaction line,
- the tubular reaction line and the temperature controller are configured such that the tubular reaction line are contacted with the heat exchange medium and temperature and/or amount of the heat exchange medium is adjusted based on the temperature of the reaction solution measured by the temperature sensor.
