Upgrading to the 150mm reactor flange system gives operators an array of benefits over standard taper-joint systems.
Some of these features include:
- Sustained flow rates of 3-4.5 liters per hour (LPH)
- Low variance between boiling and vapor temperatures due to exceptionally large vapor path
- Rapid pre-condensation within top of distillation head (High Efficiency Technology)
- Controllable reflux via 45/50 head inserts
- Easy cleaning of boiling flask via 150mm orifice in center of flask
- Compatibility with 45/50 condensers from standard 20L G3/X systems
Note: It is recommended to have the G3X valve system prior to upgrading, due to the rapid throughputs of the R-series distillation head. Fast distillation rates cause large flasks to fill rapidly; therefore, having the ability to swap flasks during a live distillation is an important factor with the 20L G3X-R system.
