Continuous Reaction (CSTR) Test Equipment REC1/EV designed to study the kinetics of a continuous reaction by changing the electrical conductivity readings in the reactor. This reactor is equipped with an electric heater and a distillation column with a condenser. Automated version Mod. REC1a/EV has a PID controller that automatically controls the reaction temperature. The equipment allows you to delve into reaction kinetics, thermodynamics, mass and energy balance. Possible tasks include the kinetics of ethyl acetate hydrolysis and the transformation of acetic anhydride to acetic acid, showing the reaction kinetics by measuring conductivity.
