Abstract:
A chemical production processing unit comprising an externally heated autoclave. The autoclave cover is provided with a hole for charging a heterogeneous system. A hollow housing is rotatably mounted on the autoclave cover and is externally provided with blades for stirring the heterogeneous system and internally provided with a helical groove. A pipe for discharging the heterogeneous system is accommodated in the autoclave bottom in such a manner that the inlet opening of the pipe is located above the maximum admissible level of the liquid phase of the heterogeneous system in the autoclave.
Abstract:
A generally ellipsoidal pressure vessel having first and second vessel shell portions each with a thin wall lying generally along one-half of an ellipsoid and wherein one of the shell portions is supported in a fixed position and the other shell portion is supported for movement between a closed chamber position in which the shell portions cooperate in forming a sealed pressure vessel and an open chamber position in which insertion and removal of a toroidal object into and from the pressure vessel is accommodated.
Abstract:
A steam operated autoclave is disclosed having a circulating steam phase, a steam producing water container, a double cleading surrounding the interior of the autoclave and valves in the conduits between the different parts of the autoclave and its accessories for selective operation of first and second heat elements arranged in said double cleading and the water container for obtaining an improved efficiency of such autoclaves by automatic preheating of the double cleading before each sterilization.
Abstract:
A plant for processing bulky masses in autoclaves including two or more autoclaves in which the autoclaves are arranged in pairs in which the autoclaves of the same pair are arranged with their charging openings, which can be closed, facing each other and spaced from each other by a distance leaving sufficient space for a charging container to be inserted into either of the two autoclaves of the pair considered, so that after filling the charging container with bulky mass and inserting it into the one autoclave, a further container can be placed into said space for filling and subsequent insertion into the other autoclave.
Abstract:
A high-temperature, high-pressure vapor phase reactor for chemical conversions requiring a quench to maintain the reaction temperature substantially isothermal, which is capable of easy field assembly and additionally allows for differential of expansion.
